There have been a number of excellent bird photographs posted lately, so I thought I'd use this past weekend's 2009 Great Backyard Bird Count to try to capture a few of my own. Here is a Yellow-rumped Warbler. "I believe we've both been flashed."
I had between 22 and 27 species visit the yard each day over the four days of the count period and managed to get in a lot of practice photographing my backyard birds.
Canon D30, 600mm f4 IS lens with 12mm ext tube, and 580EX flash w/better beamer.

One I've not seen before Richard. I really like the splashes of yellow in this variety. A compelling action shot, well done!

great detail and eye contact, the wings give a great sense of motion but IMO could use a little more head room
