Cerulean Warbler

[Geoffrey Montagu]

This image was captured in Northern NJ last week. There were at least two of these beauties giving us some decent poses when they would come out from the dense leafy undergrowth. A lifer for me. C&C welcome.

I love this one Geoff. Such fantastic birds that I am hoping to photograph this weekend at Sterling Forest. Very pretty background as well and I really like the hints of blurred sticks as well. Maybe there is a little too much dead space on the left? I keep going back and forth on that.

Congratulations on the lifer. A good pose, and framed nicely by the branch and background.

Geoffrey, congrats on the lifer, beautiful bird. Nice and sharp, interesting perch and BG.

Thanks Isaac. Sterling Forest looks like an ideal Warbler, area. Beautiful looking lake also. Hope you have success finding the Warblers.
