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.
The picture of this Yellow-throated Warbler was taken with the CANON EOS7D and the CANON 100-400mm lens and the CANON 580EXII flash.
This was a difficult capture because the bird was very shy, very fast and very small.
The picture of this Palm Warbler was taken with the CANON EOS7D and the CANON 100-400mm lens and the CANON 580EXII flash.
I totally loved the Corkscrew Sanctuary. I visited on a cloudy, somewhat misty day and was so enchanted by the magical light and the extraordinary abundant fauna and flora throughout.
I have never seen so many Yellow-rumped Warblers in one day as I did at Jamaica Bay National Wildlife Refuge this past Saturday giving me lots of photo ops. I have read reports all over the city of the large numbers of migrating Yellow-rumped Warblers. They are nicknamed “butter butt†for obvious reasons.
This Yellow-rumped Warbler was activley foraging in an open meadow in Central Park where I was able to take many pictures of him in farily close proximity. I am beginning to understand the reason so many bird photographers enjoy taking pictures in Central Park because the birds are much more accessible than in more densely forested areas.
I am still trying to the hang of shooting in some of the more shadowy areas in Central Park. I am using the Canon 580EXII with a better beamer and am adusting the compensation on the flash to -2 especially when I am close to the bird.
I took this picture early in the morning in the Rambles part of Central Park where it is rather dark. I used a better beamer on my flash in order to get the capture of this beautiful warbler.
