Northern Parula

Three of us were standing by a blooming apple tree discussing our morning of birding when this Northern Parula landed on a branch no more than 10 feet away. The bird started preening and singing and remained perfectly still for quite some time. We couldnt believe what we were seeing; it is not everyday a energetic little bird like a warbler lands near you and offers themselves for close observation and photography!

Excellent capture Chris. It's not unusual for the smaller birds to land right near me and sing and stay for a while ... happens all the time. It's just usually 50 feet directly above me under the tree canopy with the only possible angle to get a picture being directly into a harsh sun! And of course just the lower protion of the bird visible. LOL

Nicely done :t:
