The Prothonotary Warblers won’t be in our area long so I spent some time around the edges of the swamp looking for them earlier this week. They are fast in flight, like tree tops, and don’t stay in one place for long, making them a challenge to track and to photograph.
This one must have liked the sun or the view because he stayed in this lichen covered branch for several minutes.
In the inner branches is usually where that flash of yellow streaks by.
Wow! and Wow! from Me and Nigel !! So stunning!
Thank you, times two! The color on these warblers almost seems fake it is so bright.
Yes, its incredibly bright Ellen. I don’t know if it gets any brighter yellow than that in birds – I mean, its hard to even imagine any yellow that could be said to be brighter!
Tricky subjects. Lovely shots.
Thanks, Belinda.
These are wonderful shots, Ellen!
Thanks, Donna! The Prothonotary is really eye catching.
