Yesterday morning I was delighted to take a nice series of young MacGillivray’s Warbler images not long after the sun lit up the willow thicket it was foraging in.<\/p>\n

\"ImmatureImmature MacGillivray’s Warbler in a willow thicket \u2013 Nikon D810, f7.1, 1\/320, ISO 500, Nikkor 500mm VR with 1.4x TC, natural light<\/span><\/p>\n

The obvious gape, pale gray head, plus the light gray colored throat and upper breast are how I determined that this is a hatch year MacGillivray’s Warbler<\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"PerkyPerky young MacGillivray’s Warbler \u2013 Nikon D810, f7.1, 1\/400, ISO 500, Nikkor 500mm VR with 1.4x TC, natural light<\/span><\/p>\n

Unless this young warbler was in an expert’s hands is would be nearly impossible to determine its gender at this age from my photos.<\/p>\n

After this image was taken the immature MacGillivray’s Warbler moved behind a leafy branch and preened for a few minutes. I kept my eyes on the bright yellow of its belly and hoped it would move back out into the open. I even pleaded with it to move a little higher up the branch out loud.<\/p>\n

To my amazement the young warbler did move back out into the open and I took quite a few images of gray and yellow fluff ball on an old willow branch.<\/p>\n

\"FluffyFluffy young MacGillivray’s Warbler \u2013 Nikon D810, f7.1, 1\/1250, ISO 500, Nikkor 500mm VR with 1.4x TC, natural light<\/span><\/p>\n

I really liked how fluffy the immature warbler looked in this photo.<\/p>\n

\"SaucySaucy looking immature MacGillivray’s Warbler \u2013 Nikon D810, f7.1, 1\/1250, ISO 500, Nikkor 500mm VR with 1.4x TC, natural light<\/span><\/p>\n

And how saucy it looked in this image. Soon after this photo was taken the young MacGillivray’s took off.<\/p>\n

The immature MacGillivray’s landed on a willow to my south on a branch that was also out in the open. I took a few more photos of it there before it took off and flew out of my sight. I saw more MacGillivray’s Warblers yesterday but none of them gave me the great views that this one did.<\/p>\n

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