Warbler, that is. Not the best shot of one of these, but this was from a week or so ago and it was my second sighting of this species and the first when I had a camera. It was quite a good morning as I had 4 species of warblers cme through within half an hour along with probably a dozen other species that morning. I went back to the same spot yesterday and there was almost nothing.
7Dii, Sigma 150-600 contemporary at 562mm, hand held, f/6.3, 1/1000, iso 640, aperture priority, pattern metering, -1/3 stop compensation. Processed in LR5 & CS6, cropped to 9.4MP. Taken July 28th at 6:42 am at Glacial Heritage Natural Area (a county park next door).
Thank you for all your comments on the Eagle post. I do have more sky available under the bird in the original and will add some back. I look forward to your comments on this one.
Thanks,

4 commentsI like the way the Warbler is framed by the leaves here. Larger image is better. The bird pops more. In smaller image my eye is drawn to left lower corner by some of the OOF branches.
Why is it that these little guys will not stand still for a portrait Dennis. Good shot of a tough subject, with tough light. I think I would crop a bit tighter to bring more focus on the warbler.
A nice shot of a still illusive warbler for me, I always just catch flashes of these guys in the thick brush. The oof foreground is a little distracting, but I would be plenty happy to have this one in my files.
The warbler looks good and I like him small in the frame surrounded by the leaves. The OOF elements in the left of the frame detract. Tough species to capture well. Small and very active.
