I missed taking some MacGillivray’s Warbler images yesterday in the High Uintas because my camera kept trying to focus on the background rather than the warbler that was out in the open and then after that I missed more shots of the pair as they foraged because they were moving so fast but those birds reminded me that I had taken some images of this species last year in the Wasatch Mountains<\/span><\/a> that I hadn’t edited or shared here.<\/p>\n

This MacGillivray’s Warbler was foraging at the base of a serviceberry when I photographed it facing me and until I took photos of it I hadn’t realized how big their eyes are for a warbler. They also have large heads and appear to have no neck at all!<\/p>\n

I don’t see this species as often as I would like to and more often than not I don’t get images of them because they move so quickly so whenever I get images of them I am happy but I still don’t have the photos of this species that I dream about so I’ll just keep trying.<\/p>\n

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