Nikon D850, Nikon 500mm F5.6 pf
ISO 400, 1/1600s, F6.3, Blind If this image of the Blackburnian Warbler looks a bit bland, that's the point. The female of this species is much duller than the male probably as an adaptation to remain well hidden while sitting on it's nest high in pine trees. It should also be noted anecdotally, that the female is observed far less often than the male of this species, at least by this observer. As a side note this image was taken on the same small spruce tree as my previously posted Tennessee Warbler about an hour later when the sun was on it. That day in mid May of this year, was the only day I noticed a movement of mixed warblers in my area. Please click for higher resolution. |
