Ovenbird

Here's another warbler species that Geoffrey and I saw yesterday morning. This one has always been a nemesis bird for me; constantly heard in the dark woods, but rarely visible in the open. So glad the warblers are back!

D500, 500f4 + 1.4 TC, ISO 2000, 1/640s @ f/7.1 manual. Fill @ -1.7.

Nice catch, with nice light, BG and a clean perch, still my nemisis bird, seen often, never got good pics. Nice you captured while calling too.

[John Mack]

Really like the calling pose and the green background.

Well done Bill and good job staying after them. I have one that hangs on the property at home but yet to get a good pix of it.

Great capture and a good look at the feather patterns. Nice detail, calling pose, and lovely BG.

The warbler re trickling in up here too - an exciting time of year!! I love this species song, very loud, and the pose you got it in portrays that well. Steep angle though, and the perch is not ideal, but as a nemesis bird for you this is a good start with this species.
