STOPS ALONG THE WAY

PALM WARBLER (TWO PHOTOGRAPHS)

Palm Warbler -1

Palm Warblers are a new species for me. A friend in the reserve told us that there were warblers in a grove of pine trees and pointed us in their direction. The birds kept flying through and around the tree boughs catching insects as they flew past. I kept panning the trees hoping to catch sight of one. I think warblers are among the most challenging of birds to photograph given their quick movements. Their striking colours set them off against the green of the pines and with a bit of luck and patience I was rewarded with these photographs.

    What state are you in? I’m on my reader and not on your blog, which probably says. Would love to see Palm W one day. Such a poser!

    How absolutely delightful – so happy you got these great captures. I don’t have good lenses for seeing birds. I’m envious!

    Nice shots. Photographing warblers will keep you humble.

    Beautiful photos Belinda! I am with you; warblers are difficult to capture, but when you get great photos like yours, it is totally worth the effort!

    You certainly got him to hold still long enough to get a clear photo. Very nicely done, and such a beautiful bird.
