I only had an hour of decent sunlight yesterday morning and this was the only bird that popped out of the brush for an opportunity. I presumed it was a female
Common Yellowthroat so I didn't bother taking a look right away. Once I got it up on my monitor I could tell it wasn't a Common Yellowthroat. I'm pretty sure the
ID is correct. I have no idea how common these are, but this would be my first image of this species. By all means correct me if I'm wrong...and ruin my day. I
know it's a little tight. This is full frame plus. I added some canvas in front and below from some other images in the sequence. The bird was close to minimum focal
distance. The front foot was actually OOF but I cloned in the focused foot from another image. Removed an OOF branch.
