Today, I am sharing Pine Warbler photos that I have taken on three different days here in Arkansas. Until recently, these warblers have been a nemesis for me.<\/p>\n

Last year, when I was in Arkansas, I did photograph Pine Warblers. There wasn’t even one photograph that I was happy with, though.<\/p>\n

This spring is a different story. I’m thoroughly delighted to be able to photograph these warblers in my dear friend Steve Creek’s yard and garden<\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Last year and this spring, I’ve been thrilled to hear these warblers singing<\/span><\/a>. I love their songs, and I also enjoy photographing them. So far, I haven’t gotten any photos of the females, but the males are gorgeous.<\/p>\n

\"UrbanUrban Pine Warbler male in spring \u2013 Nikon D500, f7.1, 1\/640, ISO 2000, Nikkor 500mm VR with 1.4x TC, natural light<\/span><\/p>\n

I was even happier with my Pine Warbler images once I put my teleconverter back on. Because I had gotten so many close-up shots of bluebirds, I had removed my teleconverter to capture full-body images of them. However, I was missing close-up shots of other birds, including the Pine Warblers.<\/p>\n

So, I started working on getting the Pine Warbler photos I have been hoping for, even though the light hasn’t been optimal for a few days. My Nikon D500 handles higher ISOs like a champ, though.<\/p>\n

Yesterday, I took a few more images of my previous nemesis. I loved the resulting photos of these striking warblers; their bright plumage and songs simply make me smile.<\/p>\n

I’ve been smiling a lot, can you tell?<\/p>\n

By the way, in the last two images of the Pine Warbler, it was upset with an encroaching bird, not me or Steve. I thought that was important to address.<\/p>\n

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