little birdie

That's very pretty. What kind of bird is it? A warbler of sort?

Thanks. I'm not sure what it is.

I'd say it's a Palm Warbler.

Wow, it looks painted. Too perfect, like it's alive. Can you describe how you got that shot? I need hunting lessons.

Thanks, I'm not sure what you mean, but I was simply walking down a fence row and he landed in front of me. It was still early morning, so the sunlight was coming through the trees.

Yup, thats what I mean, thanks. Somehow, I get the mental picture of all the good shots coming from a blind where a guy sits in it all day waiting for a single shot.

Must be some hold over from watching National Geographic safaris on TV.

Wonderful shot ! I agree with the palm warbler I.D. The low angle light and perch are so pleasing. I only wish his head was turned to get a little catchlight.

Very nice shot of this wonderful little bird...perpetual motion machines usually.. The light says it all. Nice work!
