Northern Parula

I seem to get most of my warbler shots in late summer and the birds are often in juvenile or less-than-breeding plumage. So, I was excited a few days ago to finally capture a breeding northern parula on our property.

Very neat, Al, love the singing shot. These guys are easy to hear but nigh impossible to spot, let alone get a good shot of. Funny, I saw my first ever yesterday too.

Great shots Al, congrats.

Beautiful shots Al, never have had the pleasure to see one of these guys.

He's a looker Al and congrats on getting them early this year.
Love the singing pose amidst all the branches.

Wow beautiful bird and really beautiful captures! Well done and it must have been great to find them in your backyard!

Wow Al, the color in these is amazing. Great captures of this beautiful bird.

Lovely lighting Moose.

A beautiful warbler! Great shots!

Al, after I die with envy over the shots you get of these beauties, promise to be one of my pallbearers. Gorgeous.

Thanks, Steve; while parulas are certainly a favorite, warblers are all so beautiful as to make the decision difficult.
