Blackburnian

Another of the warblers from my recent trip to Ontario. This species usually roams the upper tops of the trees and they are usually difficult to photography here in Northern New England. At Point Pelee your chances of seeing high canopy birds at eye level in May is as good as any place I've visited for warblers.

Lovely view and detail of a warbler I have never seen. The perch is a little heavy for the bird. I believe I would crop out some of it.

Excellent, Chuck. Great pose and head turn and you did him full justice. It looks like you had a productive trip. My one visit there had a good afternoon, but the next morning there was almost nothing and unfortunately, that's all the time I had. I really need to get back there.

Gorgeous shot and really well composed Charles. Warblers are amazing in their colors and variation. You nailed the detail and the BG, got great depth with the tree trunk, and wide open too.

Excellent exposure, focus and color on this bird, Charles! The large version is particularly nice. The only suggestion I have is to lose a little bit of that tree trunk. It's just a bit heavy on that side.
