Black-throated Blue Warbler, Setophaga Caerulescens

This shot is a tight crop on a high ISO image, but I was lucky to get it. Well after the sun had set, I had just enough light to grab this shot (and a couple other really blurry ones!) of this little guy before he flew away. He's a Black-throated Blue Warbler. The best part? I got the shot while sitting on my deck at home! Maybe he'll be around tomorrow too so I can try to get a little cleaner shot.

Recent Bird Photography Trip

While the vast majority of the shots I took on a recent bird photography trip to the coast were of waterfowl (coming in a later post), I did grab this painted bunting as well. I've always loved these birds. They're probably the most colorful bird in North America.
