Dreaming of a Blackburnian.

[Daniel Cadieux]

Weird day today. This morning was rush hour misery as freezing rain blanketed the city streets and sidewalks. I was yearning for Spring. Then this afternoon it the sun was peeking, it was relatively warm, and everything was melting. I was yearning for Spring. Looking back at warbler images from last year really cheered up my day...I am, yep, yearning for Spring!!

This is the same individual featured in my avatar. Called in from a blind, hoping it would land on pre-chosen perch..it did.

Canon Rebel XT + 100-400L @400mm, 1/200s., f/6.3, ISO400, no EC, handheld.

Beautiful. The pose is great, and the perch is interesting without being distracting.

[Dave Phillips]

what beautiful coloration
The bg textures add to this image IMO

[Stephen Stephen]

Very nice image Dan. A slight head turn (as in your avatar) would have made this even better. Great colours and catchlight in the eye.

This is really beautiful. I love the rich color, the spring green background and the pose. The out of focus branch on the left is a little distracting.

Great find, I still have to see this species. I like the details and exposure control and only find the OOF branch (lower left) in front of the perch a bit distracting.
