Finally this Eastern Towhee decided to fly up to an eyelevel branch so that I could get a really nice picture. I have been seeing snippets of Eastern Towhees as they forage on the ground for a few weeks.
This little guy stopped just long enough to pose for a pretty picture and then went back to flitting around catching tiny insects.
The Ruby-crowned Kinglet is in constant really quick motion and is very tiny. It is one of the smallest birds of North America. I take lots of pictures in order to produce a picture that is close to sharp.
This beauty was a very cooperative subject all decked out in his breeding outfit!
This Warbler species showed up at both the New York Botanical Gardens and Prospect Park this weekend. I was able to capture the Prothonotary Warbler at the New York Botanical Gardens at the larger of the Twin Lakes. The Prothonotary Warbler in Prospect Park was on the Peninsula. It is interesting to note that at both locations there was a Yellow Warbler present.
Getting in shape for the warbler picture taking season!
This is the first picture of a warbler for me this season. I am reminded that I need to get in warbler-picture-taking-mode which is going to need some practice.
