Hung around a viewing pond at our local wildlife sanctuary the other day. I was hoping to see the Yellow Rumped Warblers, and I wasn't disappointed. Been waiting for them to arrive for a bit now. Got a few others too for your viewing pleasure...cheers...Don

    Wow. Very nice series. I only get to see the yellow rumped warblers in the winter months when they are anything but yellow on the rump. You pics certainly show the nice breeding plumage. Your flycatcher looks like an eastern phoebe btw.

    Your wilson's warbler and sparrows are very nice as well and congrats on getting a kinglet not quickly moving out of view. Those things move like bullets!

    I think the one you forgot is the best of the bunch. Great Capture!

    Thanks very much Stephen. I look forward to seeing the Yellow Rumps this time of year. They don't seem to be around much after the early mid spring, although they're said to be here all year....cheers....Don

    Thanks Jim! I liked the flying shot too, but it wasn't real sharp. If seen at full crop, it is quite soft. Thank goodness for USM and downsizing....cheers....Don

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"
