ISO 400, 1/800s, F5.6

This is a male Cerulean Warbler in the Spring singing at close to eye level due to my being on an embankment.  Unfortunately, he was quite a distance so this image is cropped significantly.  I'm posting it only due to the fact I have not seen images of this tree top dweller singing at a reasonable height in other postings.

Nice! You made the most of an opportunity here! Great light, not 40’ overhead, and singing - fantastic!

One of your best photos that I have seen, Warren, not just for warbler species, but for all the other species that you photograph, so well !
An uncommon warbler, and photographed singing, puts this image certainly, in a very special class, in my view.

Great singing pose and not easy to see one at eye level, Warren!

a great pose shot even in the singing mood, all the detail is there as-well, nicely done WARREN.

How wonderful to get this capture, and so beautifully done. Cropping clearly did no harm! I'd be happy to see one, let alone get such a fine image. Kudos all around.

Thank you so much to the Editors for selecting this image as an EP.  I wish I could have been a bit closer, for more detail while taking this image, but the terrain did not allow for it. I appreciate the fact you saw something in it that I did as well.    Warren
