Palm Warbler

[Joseph Przybyla]

I captured this image at Circle B Bar Reserve in Polk County, Florida. It is not only the Purple Gallinule that is attracted to the blossoms of the Fire Flag plant. This Palm Warbler was actively feeding on the blossoms or insects that the blossoms attract. Comments and critique welcomed and appreciated. Thank you for viewing.

Very nice Joe....The bird and perch look so 'clear' against the BG. Lovely pose and HA. Very pleasing to the eye, with lovely colours throughout.

Good look at this common little Florida warbler. (There are still a few hanging around NJ too, probably wishing they were at Circle B.) Sharp as a tack, with nice perch and bg.

I love the background colors and Head Angle.

Tidy shot, no nits for me.

Hi Joe, a sweet pose showing off good finer feather detail. Great that we can see the one foot holding on tightly.

Love how the right foot is gripping that one seed head. Killer background. Nice pose and framing.
