\"FluffedFluffed up adult Northern Yellow Warbler in a chokecherry – Nikon D500, f7.1, 1\/1250, ISO 500, Nikkor 500mm VR with 1.4x TC, natural light
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

What could be better than a photo of a Northern Yellow Warbler? A fluffed up Northern Yellow Warbler perched in a chokecherry tree that looks like he swallowed a light bulb!<\/p>\n

The warbler is nearly as bright as a light bulb anyway and it was kind of shaped like a light bulb too!<\/p>\n

One thing that I believe could have made this Northern Yellow Warbler photo better was if the chokecherry had still been in bloom but it had already finished blooming and the flower petals had fallen off when I took this photo.<\/p>\n

Northern Yellow Warblers<\/span><\/a> are small birds that look like feathered rays of sunshine that have come to earth and I am always delighted to photograph them especially when they are out in the open, relaxed, and just doing what birds do.<\/p>\n

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