Male Yellow Warbler on a flowering shrub – Nikon D500, f7.1, 1/800, ISO 400, Nikkor 500mm VR with 1,4x Tc, natural light
A few days ago I mentioned that I would like to get more images of Yellow Warblers and the day before yesterday I did but I still haven’t gotten the frame filling images of this species that I desire. I am going to keep trying, there is no doubt about that. I did get clearer views of these energetic, bright Yellow Warblers and some images that I liked even though the birds are smaller in the frame than I would like them to be.
I saw this male Yellow Warbler land under the base of a flowering shrub while up in the Wasatch Mountains and I was delighted that it popped up into clear view for a few seconds. Just long enough to get about more than a half dozen images of it before it flew to another shrub to search for insects. I watched it long enough to see it fill its bill and then as it dove into a willow thicket next to the creek where I presume it fed its young.
Someday I will get the images I desire of these dainty Yellow Warblers. Bird photography is challenging and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
Life is good.

Just glorious.
Yup! That’s my little butter buddy! Wonderful shot of such a fast flitter!
Beautiful image. I’ve never seen a warbler before!
