Swamp Thing (Protonotaria citrea)

Male Prothonotary Warbler foraging for spiders. Wind whipped cattails gives a soft focus look. From about 12 feet (4 meters). Hopefully, Cerulean Warbler will come down to earth as we're kind of stuck in a Prothonotary rut currently.

Thanks for the comments everyone. Insect hatches coming off later in day might give some opps in better light.
Cerulean 40 feet above meanwhile, immune to gravity so far.
