Common Yellowthroat

An image from last year's spring in Milwaukee. I usually find them very shy, but in this case they were busy feeding during migration and did not mind me close by.

1D3/840mm, ISO640, 1/200s@F7.1

Beautiful capture in this nice bed of purple flowers. I like the details of the head and the lights in front of the bird. Bravo!

When you say close, how close is it? It's always a question that I have especially with a 840mm,

Jean:

Thanks for your feedback. I was about 25 feet away from the bird.
