Common Yellow Throats are indeed common

Considering I had never seen a Common Yellow Throat until this spring I think it's amazing how often I've seen them this summer.  (here and here) But I guess that's because now I know where to look.  This first photo does indeed have a male Common Yellow Throat right in the center of the photo.  Every time I've seen a yellow throat it's been in one of these low to the ground thickets.  If you wait they eventually pop up somewhere you can actually see them. 

male Common Yellow Throat, see that dash of yellow and black in the center (upper left center)

I think this is a female Common Yellow Throat.
