A beautiful little bird that I was unfamiliar with. Nice pose and colors.

First image of this bird I have seen here on naturescapes. I had to look it up in my Sibley. I like the pose you captured which shows off its namesake. It does look slightly soft to me. Perhaps another round of sharpening?

I was in AZ as well this Spring and tried for photos of this nice looking warbler. You did well considering, as others have mentioned, it seems to be a difficult bird to photograph.

Best,

Matt

A beautiful looking bird in a nice setting. Some of these warblers are such amazing colors and patterns. Nice that you found this one out in the open.

Yeah, this can sometimes be a tough bird to see. You did well to get this clean shot of him. Chiricahuas, Huachucas, Santa Ritas, Mt Lemon? All such good birding spots.
