I always have my eye out for the small birds, watching for darting movements through the trees and undergrowth. This summer they were elusive, always hidden by leaves or behind a limb.

Now at the end of September the grasses and brush have started to thin and drop back making a shot more attainable.

This Warbler lit on a beautiful muted scene just as I was glanced that way. His coloration doesn’t quite match the samples on the identification resources.

What a little beauty. Nicely done!
