I had a birdy kind of morning yesterday in the high country of the Wasatch Mountains<\/span><\/a>. The locations that were birdy two weeks ago aren’t nearly as birdy now as they were but locations that weren’t very birdy at all have become more birdy and I plan on focusing on those areas more in the next few weeks. I promise I won’t write birdy again… this morning.<\/p>\n

The fruits of the serviceberries even at the higher elevations of this canyon have begun to ripen and I saw several species of birds in them. Some birds were eating the juicy berries and some were gleaning insects from the leaves and branches of the shrubs.<\/p>\n

One of the birds I had in my viewfinder for a few moments yesterday morning was an immature MacGillivray’s Warbler where it perched on the branches of a serviceberry at the edge of a dusty, gravel road.<\/p>\n

I’m going to try to get to this location earlier in the morning when the light is softer than it was at a few minutes after 9 am yesterday. The sun was already getting high and that meant more shadows than I would have liked in these photos.<\/p>\n

Yesterday I wondered if this young MacGillivray’s Warbler might not have been from the nest I knew about and where I photographed adults building their nest and bringing food to their chicks earlier this year but after thinking about it last evening I realized that although it is possible that this bird hatched from that nest it is more likely that it didn’t.<\/p>\n

I recall that there were more than two adults in the area of that nest early in the spring and that there are likely many more MacGillivray’s Warblers in the area.<\/p>\n

Me? I was just happy to have this young warbler in my viewfinder.<\/p>\n

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