    Default Prarie Warbler?

    I shot this in Texas a few weeks ago. I checked the Sibley guide and the Prarie Warbler
    was the closest match I could see. If someone differs from the iD please let me know.

    Great photo, nice BG love the HA and eye contack, alert pose love it.

    Was it HUGE, I think it is a Chat. Look at that beak.

    Nice shot Dave. Great pose and lighting. It's not a Prairie Warbler Warbler - I believe it's a Yellow Breasted Chat.

    Dave, good alert pose with the semi cocked tail, and I like how he is perched against the lighter BG. Light and colours look good, and would maybe add a bit more space on the left.

    Nice and sharp, with a nice pose, HA and perch. Agree on more space to the left.
    +1 on yellow breasted chat. Would've liked to see this bigger.

    Dave, excellent bird angle and alert pose. Nice BG as well. I'd also vote for some more room in front of the bird....and probably abit on top and tad crop from bottom.

    Wow, not a Prarie Warbler as you now know, but a Chat in the open is a great opportunity and hard to find. You have a real gem here. It could use a bit more space on the left to get him out of center.

    Easy adding a bit on to the left...

    Very nice look to this image; with a bit more canvas on the left it would be perfect as the centerpiece for an article on this species.
