    Kind of my nemesis warbler species. Getting these guys to come out of the tree tops even with audio is...problematic. They're also later spring arrivals when most trees have leafed out already.
    Finding them on an open branch without a lot of clutter has been a challenge. I took this image standing on top of a lake dam where trees have grown up behind it so I'm level with +25 feet in
    the tree. I remove a couple of branches that crossed in front the lower part of the bird using several other images. I wouldn't normally expend that much effort on most other species but I liked
    the background on this image. The black area above the eye is black, no more detail to be had.

    Like the background as well. The blue and green go well together. The sun looks like it was starting to get high. But you handled it well. Framing is right on.

    I'd say nemesis no more, with a beautiful view in less than perfect light, but I know you will find and create even better. TFS
