The bay-breasted warbler is the third warbler variety I have featured on my blog. Like the palm and yellow-rumped warblers, the bay-breasted is a challenge to shoot as it flies in and out of the pine trees, your neck is on a perpetual pivot to get one in your camera sight. This handsome bird is in full breeding colours but I think he moved further afield to find a mate as we only saw this species for a couple of days in the reserve.

Lovely photographs of a challenging subject! I particularly like your second photo – admittedly you see less of the bird but I feel it shows more of it’s character.

A first for me too. I shot with Nikon – D-7200, 70-200mm with pretty good success.

You do have great success. I shoot with a Nikon D-7100 and a 70-300mm and I find myself pushing the envelope, often shooting at 300mm with so-so results. I should get closer… or get a 500mm lens. Great photos; keep shooting!
