Warbler and Spruce Cone

Another warbler from Maine, this one a Black-throated Green Warbler. I saw a lot of these while there, but had a hard time photographing them because they were high in the canopy. This was taken on a raised road bed that sloped down on both sides, with spruce/mixed forest on both sides. Given the trees were all down below the road bed, I was thus (kind of!) up in the canopy!! There was plenty of bird activity, so it was just a matter of waiting.

Canon 50D, 400 5.6L, 1/80, f6.3, ISO 400. Still the same poor light that I had most of my trip, but it worked when they sat still long enough.
