Prairie Warbler

This is only the second time I've seen this species and probably the only Warbler whose song I can easily recognize. I found a whole slew of this on an afternoon hike - going back for sunrise tomorrow with hopes of much nicer lighting

A very simple yet attractive composition Luke, nice to get such a clean shot of this warbler.

I really like this. The flat light really makes the little guy pop. It's really nice that you caught the rust coloring on the back. Sharon

Beautiful bird. I like the sparseness of the perch. Lighting is touch, but still a lot of detail in the bird.

A really cool bird Luke. I like this image, but agree, better lighting would make for an even better one.
