A Palm Warbler was doing his thing in the lower vegetation at the side of a swamp.

As you may know, warblers of all sorts are speedy and are mostly photographed exiting the spot you noticed him. Fortunately for me, this one’s curiosity slowed him down.

Then he gave me a jaunty pose.

He heard something, gave it another look, then dove into the underbrush.
