Warblers and Wildflowers

As a wildlife photographer I am sometimes challenged by personal goals that cannot always be accomplished. For example, today I heard, then spotted, prothonotary warblers moving through a section of “edge” timber along the river. I recorded many images, but ended up deleting most since the resulting pictures were too busy with twigs and branches. Eventually, after more than two and a half hours, I was able to record a few compositions that were “cleaner.” None quite captured what I wanted, but were close.

As I watched and waited for a prothonotary warbler to pause in a desired composition, I noticed a few black and white warblers moving up and down trees occasionally grabbing an insect snack.
