Seeing and photographing an immature Pine Warbler yesterday morning made me smile. I was standing up when I saw the young warbler land on a vine in good light.<\/p>\n

I had been focused on another bird in the trees to the southwest that I couldn’t see from my chair. When I spotted the Pine Warbler, I quickly aimed my lens, focused, and took many images of the bird.<\/p>\n

At the time, I wasn’t sure whether the warbler was a female or an immature bird. I couldn’t see a fleshy gape, so I planned to label the Pine Warbler as female\/immature.<\/p>\n

Then I went to AllAboutBirds.org<\/span><\/a> and discovered something I hadn\u2019t known before. Under a photo of an immature Pine Warbler, I found this statement: “Immature birds vary from gray to pale yellow, but they all have a white eyering.”<\/p>\n

I looked at my photos and the white eyering stood out.<\/p>\n

I’ve been having a great time seeing, hearing, and photographing Pine Warblers. Pine Warblers are a species I never saw, heard, or photographed in Utah. My galleries now contain adult males, a female, and young Pine Warblers of at least two ages.<\/p>\n

My next self-challenge? I want to take videos of the males singing in the spring. Their songs<\/span><\/a> are quite lovely to listen to.<\/p>\n

In the meantime, I plan to photograph Pine Warblers whenever I have the opportunity. They are terrific subjects, and I hope to find more of them soon.<\/p>\n

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