Wilson’s Warblers aren’t birds that I see all that often so I get excited when I have one in my viewfinder, especially when they are out in the open.<\/p>\n

Last month I spotted a male Wilson’s Warbler perched on the top of a Fragrant Sumac bush in northern Utah and he stood out well because he was out in the open for a few seconds. I’d watched him foraging in the nearby bushes before he popped up onto the sumac. It was unfortunate that a cloud had moved in front of the sun during the period I had the warbler in my viewfinder. I can only imagine how brightly his yellow feathers would have glowed in better morning light. I enjoyed seeing and photographing him despite the low light.<\/p>\n

I was delighted when the warbler turned his head and look directly at me before he flew off. I do wish I had been a bit closer to him than I was and that he was larger in these frames but I still couldn’t resist photographing him and why would I?<\/p>\n

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