Prairie Warbler

I recently visited Point Pelee a few weeks back and joined a couple of friends I made last year from the area. On our first afternoon in the park this Prairie Warbler jumped up from the clutter and gave us some nice looks in the late afternoon sun. What I find so cool about visiting the park for the warbler migration is how close one can get to the birds, I actually had to back up to the opposite side of the path to get this guy in focus.
