Warbler Display
Oct 24, 2020 20:33:49 #
Back to my long range closeups of little/tiny birds. A Yellow Rump Warbler - this is So Calif so it would the Audubon's Warbler branch of the family.
This little guy was in an orange tree next door, then on the fence in between than in my bushes and flowers. Just sort of perching and looking around. Maybe trying to decide if it should join the mob scene at one of my feeders. Suddenly the little guy started a display that lasted about 2-3 seconds, then settled down, looked around again and went down into the grass to scarf up food the mob was knocking off the feeder.
Why the display??? I don't know but he was looking off toward a big mob of mixed species from Collared Doves to Hummingbirds around the feeders at the other end of the yard. Maybe another warbler that is a rival.
80D, Tamron 150-600 G2 @ 600, 1/1250 @ f/8.0, ISO-2000 off a tripod at aprx 75'-80' under an overcast but light was "cloudy bright". A very heavy crop, only about 1.2 mp of the 24 mp frame.
Processing in LR, PS, and Topaz Denoise AI.

What a great capture and an even better poser.
Thanks a lot. I only had 13 seconds of this little guy on that 1/3" branch. I got 10 single frames and the middle 3 frames of the display only covered a tad over 2 seconds.
