This Yellow-rumped Warbler landed close to me in good light. I took advantage. (Thanks to Richard Ditch for help with the ID.)

Thanks for looking, comments & suggestions are greatly appreciated!

A treat to view a new species for me. You captured him with great detail, on a nice perch and a decent background. Well done.

I love these precious, little birds! Great job on getting such nice detail and eye contact. Lovely bokeh, and I really like the drape of spanish moss on the rs...it's color goes nicely with the lichens on the branch.

- just wish the moss were in a little better focus, as it appears to be the object of his attention.

nice pose and comp, Steve. I'd probably run a little noise reduction on the background.

Great job on getting such nice detail. These guys seem to rarely stay still for long. I like the pose and the overall composition.

I like the pose you captured. Good colors and details. Maybe crop out the OOF branches on the right? Thanks for sharing.

I'll just echo the comments of the others, and congratulate you for getting this pose of such an active bird that seems to never stay still.

Nicely composed. The warbler pops of the background and is sharp. Nice image

Excellent look at this Yellow-rump. It captures well what I see as their "ornery inquisitive" nature.

High cute factor, like this frontal view that gives us the yellow patches on either side Steve.

Sharp details & a great complimentary perch with nice colors, BG, & natural framing as well..

I like it! devil
