Red-faced Warbler

[Glenn Bartley]

I spent last week roaming around southern AZ looking for a few of the amazing birds that reside there. It was my first trip to AZ and it will certainly not be my last. What a great place!! 5 days in the field was really just a tease and I would have loved to have a full two weeks or so to really explore the area.

This was certainly one of the most showy birds that I found. What a beauty eh?

I was hoping to see a stray one during migration, but didn't. Lovely capture and love the song pose!

WOw you have got a super image here, the colors are fantastic
open beak calling position makes it more attractive, lovely nice BG too, great image

Beautiful bird, excellent singing pose and nice composition, Glenn.

Spectacular bird, and great singing pose. Nicely captured in all respects. I would love to see it at 1024 px. Would also prefer to see a crop from the bottom (maybe as much as half the distance to the branch), and an equal amount added to the top. Just my personal taste.

A beauty indeed Greg! Nicely captured and hopefully you get more time on your next trip out to AZ.

I echo Bill's suggestion regarding a bit of room above.

Excellent Glen! I was there a month ago and saw a couple of these guys but not nearly so well!!

[Juan Carlos Vindas]

I did not even know that this species existed! thanks for sharing, love the pose and BG. Did you use a recorded call for this one?
