Just a simple warbler photo. I like their perky little personalities...even when halfway still!
50D, 500mm, F4.5, Iso 200, 1/160.
Taken on a foggy morning out the car window.
LARGER version also posted.

Nice image of a Palm Warbler. I like the pose, the simple perch, adn the complimentary background.

Sharon,
I agree with Richard. I might add a little more room along the top and bottom to give him a little more room. Good details.

Richard has identified this as a Palm warbler, and after checking both Sibleys and NG books, I see I was wrong. I thought it was a first year female Yellow Rumped warbler. It is lacking the full second white wing bar, and there is a small bit of rust on the crown. So, Richard...I guess the last warber( it's in my gallery here) I posted is also a Palm, since they were all together. That one is lacking the rust on the crown. Thanks so much for pointing this out, Richard. Your ID makes this a First for me!
Also, both birds were photographed a Merritt Is. in Fla.

Your previous warbler post is correctly identified as a Yellow-rumped Warbler. Note the small eye crescents, clean white throat without marks, and overall face pattern. Warblers often occur in mixed species flocks in migration and on the wintering grounds and it is always worthwhile studying as many birds as possible when you encounter a good sized flock. I still remember one tree in New Jersey that produced 17 species of warblers in a single swarm

Love the comp and BG Sharon. A great feel to this shot for sure. It looks like this is a pretty big crop as the fine feather detail is lacking a bit. But, that does not hurt this images appeal for me at all. Nicely done.
