    It was extremely windy and cold this morning but I did manage a couple of decent shots of a beautiful little warbler male....

    Outstanding images of a very beautiful bird. The images are sharp, well composed, great bokeh and the colors are really nice. Well done my friend, they don't come any better than this.

    Thanks Gordon and Dave for the nice comments!

    Little birds were never my thing until this spring, but I've grown to love the intricacies of their coloration and markings..something you can't appreciate if they just go whizzing by you :) 

    I waited an hour for this little guy to show up this morning. I knew exactly where I wanted to shoot him and low and behold...he actually showed up there....that's pretty lucky as far as I'm concerned!

    Everything you just mentioned is why small songbirds are my favorite photographic subjects. I am going to try and get as many as I can on film and as many of those that i can in flight if possible.

    Great shots of the little guy Jim. I like the all but the last one of him chirping is great.

    Very nice, I like those reddish markings on the breast area.
