This photo from a couple of years ago. Not a flashy bird but has its charm.
1/160s, f/9, ISO 640.
600mm +TC 1.4X on D300.
Cropped to 80 % of original.
C&C appreciated.

You've caught this little beauty enjoying her delicious snack, love the behavior.
I especially like the head turn toward the camera with direct eye contact, and this view of the action.
Very nice Claude!

The larger image is better, but over sharpened, imo. Also, there is a fair amount of noise in the background. On the positive side, well posed and well composed.

I have a friend whose first view of a female Common Yellowthroat turned him into a birder... A good capture of a bird with a bug. I agree with Phil on the larger version...

Nice view of this beauty. The cricket meal is a plus, and the open perch is real nice. Sharon
