Yellow Warbler

[Danny J Brown]

Little warbler out on the prairie at Shaw Nature Reserve in St. Louis. I listed it as a female, yellow warbler in my files when I made the shot but I realize now that I never verified that ID as I usually do. My bad - in advance - if I went astray. :( Thanks.

Another lovely shot Danny. The bird is nicely isolated against the background and you showed some nice habitat elements without them cluttering the image. I like it.

Danny:

Good job exposing the yellows, easy to toast. Interesting perch. Unusually big feet!
I might consider toning down the bright leaves beneath the feet, a bit distracting.

Cheers

I like the head angle, composition and pose. You could try to desaturate the yellows a few points and tone down the highlights.

Nice birdie with good head angle and catch light. Can't help you on ID, yellow little bird for me :)
Agree with Axel on desaturating the yellows a bit to let more feather detail show. TFS.

Danny, I think it is a female yellow warbler. Males have the brown streaks on the breast. Very nice light and details on the head.

That makes two of us so we are going with female yellow warbler.

I like the pose and inclusion of the habitat. The bird also pops nicely from the BG.
