Nashville Warbler.
I wonder how many of you have ever seen a Warbler in the snow. I haven't up until last Friday.
They survive by eating little flies. In my next post I'll show you one with the fly in the beak.
Thanks for looking.

Karl I don't really expect to see these warm weather insect feeders in the snow, suppose they get it wrong some times as this one proves, lovely neat and sharp looking bird, think I would like to see it without the two twigs but that's just a personal thing .

Hi Karl,
That is really unusual to see this bird in the snow.
This is a lovely image but I can see some cloning artifacts that run diagonally from the foreground stalk to the area in front of the birds beak. It is an easy fix and since you have already cloned out one branch I would clone out the vertical stalks.
I would crop out the stalk on the left side.
I also see the remnants of a branch above the tail which is easy to fix but it might be harder to get rid of the shadow on the tail.
Great natural history shot and with a few tweaks would really sing...pardon the pun!!

Thanks Gail for the comment and the detailed description of flaws I can go by and fix them.Originally Posted by gail bisson
Here is the improved version. I don't know if they can survive the whole Winter here, but for now they have the food they need.
Great image and superb suggestion by Gail. The repost is much better!
Hi Karl, lovely yellows on the little guy, and good detail too. Your repost has turned this up a few notches.
Karl repost looks spot on.
Keith.
Repost looks sooo much better. Well done Karl.
