At Farmington Bay WMA last week I found an Orange-crowned Warbler that played hide-and-seek with me for a while before popping out into the open. When I first spotted the warbler it was actively foraging on the interior of a Greasewood shrub. I knew that if I were patient the bird might move higher where I could see it better.<\/p>\n

My patience paid off when this warbler landed on a branch of the greasewood and looked towards me. The Orange-crowned Warbler looked very healthy compared to the Greasewood which appeared to be suffering from our prolonged drought. It should be greener than it was.<\/p>\n

I wasn’t going to include this photo of the warbler because I don’t care for the out of focus leaves in the frame but changed my mind about sharing it. I liked the perky pose of the Orange-crowned Warbler, the colors of its plumage against the clear blue sky, and how it shows the form of the bird.<\/p>\n

Before long all the Orange-crowned Warblers will migrate to their wintering grounds and I am going to be a little sad about that. I certainly haven’t seen as many of this species this year as I typically do while they are here for their breeding season.\u00a0 I’m feeling a little Orange-crowned Warbler<\/span><\/a> deprived.<\/p>\n

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