Chestnut-sided Warbler

Gallery: AvianPosted May 30, 2011101 views9 comments

A nice little surprise as this guy popped in for a bit while I was shooting something else. At least around here, these are some of the easier Warblers to shoot in migration, as they can be found lower in the canopy than many others.

Canon 50D, 400 5.6L, 1/400, f6.3. No flash for a change. Straight crop from vertical.

You are being modest Terry, easy and photographing warblers are not generally heard in the same sentence. This is really top notch in all respects I think, what a beautiful pose in nice light. Love the colors too!!!

An excellent capture! Great pose, and the fore plus background colors harmonize nicely with the warbler. Well done in all respects.

Colors and details look great Terry, nice catch light too.
It's a beautiful bird, always exciting when you see them for the first time. Might be better without the branch between us and the bird, but I'd be happy with this as posted..
Well done

A gorgeous bird and well captured Terry. I've never seen one but love the markings.

Terry:
How can you hate such a pretty bird (referring to you I Hate Warblers post in the Bird Photography Forum)?
This capture compensates for all the earlier frustration.

Doesn't leave a lot to say other than congratulations on a perfectly executed shot of a very attractive subject Terry :^)

I like it, Terry, and wish I could get one. Nicely done in the lighting.

A good look at this warbler. Very natural.
