Back Off!!
I have been shooting alot of birds in this spot as it has been very productive and there is alot of activity. This yellow rum is showing its displeasure to another yellow rump and telling it to back off!. Shot out of a blind, I think I spent about 5 hours in it.
Nikon d5100, Sigma 50-500 at 420mm ,f8 at 1/400th of a sec at ISO640

He's clearly unhappy. Nice capture. Excellent detail and color.

I like this a lot Wade, these warblers are really well marked and colorful and for some reason uncluttered images elude me. My gosh "5 hours in a blind," is it equipped with a coffee maker and TV? :biggrin:

I hope your joints weren't too stiff after five hours!! It sure been paying off with these shots though, another excellent photo of a species hard to capture.
