These birds are pretty rare at Point Pelee, but each spring there is usually the odd one about. I was lucky enough to be in the vicinity when one showed up this year. This bird was a bit like photographing an electron because it didn't really ever stop as it foraged in the trees. Luckily I managed a few images.

Really nice. A bit contrasty but the detail is good throughout, good work getting this pose too.

Looks like it is posing nicely for you, which really shows the skill involved in catching it at just the right moment.

A little contrasty, Scott, but easily corrected in PS. Great close-up and pose.

I can vouch for how fast this "electron" was. Great close-up Scott.

Nice pose and details! For some odd reason I rather like the OOF twigs in the BG.
