Mourning Warbler

Mourning Warbler

Galveston Island, TX

D3, 600, ISO 800, f11, 1/1250.

Here's another Warbler from Tuesday.
This species is much easier to get in fall migration than in spring here on the Upper Texas Coast.
Although easier, it's still a tough species to find. I was really happy when this male came to my drip set up.

Terrific shot, Alan. loved the bokeh. Good job on the perch....looks very natural. Excellent exp. and sharp details.

Killer bird, pose, EXP, SH, BKGR, head angle, and black band on breast. I'd lose the vertical sprig right in front of the bird.

[Melissa Groo]

Incredible shot as always, Alan. Love the way those legs match the perch! Stunning pose, HA and detail. I think Artie has a good suggestion, to evict the vertical twig.

[Karl Egressy]

Beauty shot, Alan.
It still looks almost as good as in spring plumage.

Wow! I agree with all of the above. I love the iq and the BG.

Alan, I've said it before and i need to repeat. You are an amazingly talented artist with excellent skills. I truly admire you and am inspired by every image you create. This one rocks as usual.:cheers:

Your drip setup is well worth studying and even adopting, Alan. I salute you for the care that goes behind the setup. I'd maybe see what I could do about the glare coming from the left-hand side of the perch.

Love the IQ and the exposure here !! Killer !

Everything about the bird is fantastic here. I am not a big fan of the perch though. In addition to those offensive twigs previously mentioned, I find the branch too horizontal. Still a great image though :)

Just spectacular in every way, Alan.
Light, IQ, pose, bg - what a shot.
Your setups this year have looked more natural than ever and your work is just a joy to watch.
