Taken at Magee Marsh a few weeks ago. Truly a magical place when you are there at the right time during the spring migration.

Very nice capture of this cute little bird. I wonder what happened with his other foot ? Well done !

Very nice image. I agree the BG is very good. Magee Marsh is spectacular in May.

Nice pose on the Hooded Warbler, Kirk, and I like the perch. I'm not sure why you've lost all the detail on the breast and part of the forehead-was the yellow completely blown out?

Nice shot Kirk, hard to get detail in the blacks and save the yellow on the breast. You made a good compromise.

What a great bird to get! The loss of detail in the breast makes me wonder if there wasn't an obstruction there? Did you add the catchlight in the eye? Sharon

Excellent! Wonderful color palette and a clear view of a very skulky species.

Great shot, great bird, flash was handled well. That's a place I'd like to get to at some point

Really nice, Kirk. Some loss of detail in front, but I wonder if it could be resurrected from the RAW file.
