Beautiful images! With the variable light in trees and all the fast movements of a warbler, these must have been very difficult to get. Wonderful job!

Corky, these are terrific shots! You caught four distinctly different poses. Each shot is sharp and clear. Not only all that, but this is a really beautiful bird. I just looked in my field guide and it looks like we are on the very southern edge of their range. I have never seen one but it gives me something to hope for.
Thanks you very much, Carol, and hope that at least one will pay you a visit! Almost every time that I open the back I hear the little one singing, but the only thing that bothers me is I've yet to see the female. I erected a new house for them by the water with a critter proof baffle and a custom size hole to keep larger birds out, but they will probably select something not nearly as safe! :-) Thanks again and take care!

Thanks Jan, and so glad that you liked and maybe you should consider making a trip down while it's still singing, and of course bring your camera along!

Beautiful shots of one of my favorite little warblers, Corky! We only see them during migration and most often just for one day.
Thanks Donna, and they are also one of our favorites and wish that they would spend a little more time with you! A pair usually nest very close to us, but they have not always made the best choices on their nesting home, so this year we installed a new nest box with a great baffle and a hole sized to keep the larger birds out, but they probable will not select it!
Thanks again and hope that you guys have a great what's left of the weekend! May 6, 2017 09:37:44 #
