This is a male Blackpoll Warbler in breeding plumage. Although they usually nest in the boreal forests of Canada, this one was photographed  on Whiteface Mountain in upstate NY where they are known to breed at high elevations in the Adirondack Mountains.  They're song is so high pitched it's almost impossible to hear.

Warren, an excellent job of framing the warbler within the branches and the background is perfect.

A very good image, Warren, especially the pose. I didn't know that they breed in N.Y. state, so that information, and the specific location,
where you took the photo, was most informative.

Nice natural environment and excellent pose. I had my best shot of this Warbler at Magee Marsh, Ohio.
