I had a bit of fun taking female and male Northern Yellow Warbler photos yesterday in the high country of the Wasatch Mountain Range on a bright sunny morning. I feel like I was lucky to get this image of a perched male Northern Yellow Warbler at all.<\/p>\n

The males in this area were so busy guarding their territories and chasing each other around that I actually felt dizzy trying to track them in a willow thicket. They simply didn’t stay still for longer than a few seconds.<\/p>\n

Focusing on Female Northern Yellow Warblers<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Later in the morning I was able to focus on a female Northern Yellow Warbler that perched for more than a few seconds at a time.<\/p>\n

This time of the year I see and hear more male than female Northern Yellow Warblers primarily because the males are singing<\/span><\/a> on their territories and are more visible. I feel fortunate that this female came out into the open several times while I observed and photographed her.<\/p>\n

These Northern Yellow Warbler photos are images of my first of year Northern Yellow Warbler sightings. I took long distance images of a few Northern Yellow Warblers on another trip to the mountains on the 5th of May.<\/p>\n

These photos are better than those images were because these warblers were closer to me. Even though I would have preferred to have these warblers closer to me than they were I was happy to have them in my viewfinder and to see them in the mountains here again.<\/p>\n

Life is<\/em> good.<\/p>\n
