I love these guys. I love the composition overall and the view of that tongue. Only nit would be the vegetation at the top of the head. TFS
Hey David, thank you for viewing and commenting. You know, I never saw that leaf until you mentioned it. Talk about not seeing the forest because of the trees. Easy fix, done.

Nice sharp look at this little warbler. I love the open beak and good pose. The repost took care of my only nit. I'm curious: are they feeding on the blossoms, or on the bugs that frequent the blossoms?
