BAY-BREASTED WARBLER (TWO PHOTOGRAPHS)

49 Comments

Bay-breasted W. -1

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.

    What a beauty! I’ve never seen one.

    You photographed this one very well! Love the second image with the light, and highlight in its eye.

    Well photographed! It’s hard to separate the green and have us focus on the bird.

    What a stunning bird. We mostly get Pine and Yellow-rumped Warblers here in the Atlanta area.

    Wow! I’ve never one of these before.
    What camera/lens combination do you use to shoot birds? Your pictures are always very crisp and vibrant.

    Nice shots. As you say warblers are a tough bird to photograph. We only get a few species out here in Colorado so it is a treat to see what you have. Cheers.
