On Saturday a birder friend told us we should stop by her house because from her 2nd story we could get relatively close views of many migrating western Warbler species that were foraging in the pine trees behind her house. I was somewhat skeptical because close for photographers and close for birders have different meanings--for birders close can mean 100 feet. Boy was I wrong. After a few hours shooting from her 2nd story window I came away with close shots of Townsend's and Hermit Warblers and as a bonus at one point a Pacific-slope Flycatcher landed at almost the minimum focusing distance of my lens and I got three clean shots in before it flew. I had been trying to get quality pictures of these species for the last month. Guess where I'm going this weekend.
