\"MaleMale Yellow Warbler on a flowering shrub – Nikon D500, f7.1, 1\/800, ISO 400, Nikkor 500mm VR with 1,4x Tc, natural light<\/span><\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

I saw this male Yellow Warbler land under the base of a flowering shrub while up in the Wasatch Mountains<\/span><\/a> 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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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