Black-Throated Green Warbler

I was in a rural section of New York for the holiday weekend. i went on a quick forest walk and at one point had this bird, a Magnolia Warbler, a Vireo and several others scolding me from the same tree.

Pretty shaded area, but I got a little light on it from the 580ex flash (no extender) @ ISO 1600. 100-400mm zoom mounted on my 40D.

The warblers are so beautiful to photograph, unfortunately, I haven't had much time or luck with them. Nice one.

Nice shot Dave, one of the warblers that nest on my ridge... this week I am getting many flying through.

Thanks! I agree, if you aren't calling them in (I'm not) they are very erratic.

Thanks db. I think my local hawkwatch is starting to see them too. Almost time for some sparrows to come in.

Beautiful catch Dave, lovely little Bird.

Nice shot, love the pose

Thanks Pat, in my experience this type has a nice disposition too.

Thanks Stu. I didn't manage many shots, the birds got bored of me and moved further away and higher up into the forest.

Nice shot.

Nice shot and that flash sure came in handy for this shot..

Hi Norman, yes I think the shot could be improved with a little more flash power (or natural light), but the flash did preserve a decent amount of saturation and detail in this one.

Great capture of this little beauty Dave. Like the pose.

What a cutie! Nicely captured.

Thanks Steve, I assume he was telling me "back off"

Thanks Judy. I wish I could be more responsible for taking a cute picture, but I give all the credit to the bird.

Wonderful shot. I have enver seen one of these, but know that warblers seem to like the dark interiors of trees.
