I focused on getting images of Orange-crowned Warbler for about a week this past fall when they were
in Minnesota in large numbers. In that time I found they hung around these flowering plants. I assumed
they were eating insects - they are primarily insectivores. I found they were eating the flowers. What is
intriguing to me about working with a particular subject over a period of time is that you don't know as
much as you think you do.

Canon 20D, Canon 600mm f/4, 1/640 @ f/6.3, natural light.

Regards,

Terry

Great light and the bug is a nice bonus. I like the included environment, too.

Isn't the "bug" a flower, like Terry said?

Anyhow, Terry, you're certainly right; stay with a subject for a while and you're bound to learn something.

Very sharp and well-lit shot. Is there more room on the right available?

Correct Mike - flower.

I have a bit more room on the right from the original, but this bird was so close I had to move back to focus on it.

This is great-- I saw my first one this spring. The back is a little speckly looking on my monitor.
4 down, 2 to go.

On my monitor the speckling is feather detail, but we deal with this on the web don't we.
