It has taken me 20 years to get this species in front of my lens. Yesterday it finally happened. Nemesis no more :-)

Great pose, nice detail background and pose. Congratulation on getting this nemesis bird of yours, Alan.
I know the feeling. The Golden-winged Warbler, or rather the lack of it drove me crazy for a decade.

I should have clarified. The image on my site are of females. The male is what I have been after.

The longer the pursuit, the sweeter the capture, congrats, Alan. So many different species this time of year
Enjoy viewing

Not an easy species to get in the clean. a real skulker on territory and tough in migration. nice one!
