Blackburnian Warbler & Eastern Phoebe

This is the first Blackburnian warbler I've seen this year; I'm still in search of a breeding male, but they don't often show up here. Also, the eastern phoebes have started dispersing and posing very nicely, as is their wont.

Very good Al, I like the light you've caught on the first bird moving along the branch.

Thank you, Mark.

Beautiful, Al; especially enjoy the Phoebe...those always make me smile

Thanks, Eric; phoebes really seem to like to pose; they're not flashy, but have a subdued elegance, I think.

You manage to get such great light on your subjects Al, especially love the first one.

Thanks, Ian; my best shots, I think, are when the bird is in sun against a shady, distant background and afternoons around my little pond often provide that.
