Seeing Melissa's female Black-throated Blue Warbler a couple of days ago reminded me that I was able to grab a few shots of the newly arrived males last Spring at Rondeau Provincial Park in southern Ontario. Generally cool and wet weather had many of these migrants totally focussed on feeding and allowed fairly close approach. This one is nearly FF - just cropped a bit from the left to get the branch away from the corner of the frame. Lighting was very low and the bird was very active so I was pushing the limit of exposure and motion. All C&C welcome.
