Chestnut-sided Warbler

A first for me this morning, I spotted this female under cloudy skies around 8:30am with 'muted' colors. Approx 80% of FF.
F/8, 1/320th, ISO 640, 1D M3, 300mm f/2.8 + Kenko 2x ext, no flash.

Always nice to add a new bird. It looks a bit flat from the cloudy skies and I'd consider brightening it up a little.

Been there, done that. It's as far as I could push it Rich.
Thanx for looking :wavey:

Nice one, Howard. Even though we live in the same "neck of the woods", I have never seen one around here. :wavey:

Perfect display of the colors on this little warbler. A little short on DOF—I would have liked for the exposed foot to be in focus, not so much the tail.

Great detail and the bird stands out nicely from the background. Fine image.

Congrats on the lifer Howard, nice and sharp and a good look at this little lady, but as stated, it's a little dark.
