Prairie Warblers are back

Each year, I spend a few evenings trying to photograph the Prairie Warblers that nest just a mile or so from where we live. This afternoon, I think I had my best "sitting" yet with these bright little warblers.

I kept exclaiming "wow" "wow" with each prairie warbler photo. Nice work! Where were these taken? What state? --- thanks, Kathleen in Montana

Great shots Christopher! It's nice to have the warblers back now.

Christopher said...

Thanks both!
Kathleen - these were taken in eastern Massachusetts, the is a steep hill on a power line cut-though that had a fire some years back and the transitional habitat that has resulted is great for these guys.

Wonderful series! I specially love three and four with the blueish background.

Thanks Natalie - I really like those two myself. Whenever you have opposite colors of the spectrum side by side like the the blue sky and the yellow of the warbler, I think it makes a real visual impact.
