Yellow-rumped Warblers

The warbler quest started off in Deas Island Park this afternoon. While there were lots around, including a brief glimpse of another Townsend’s, none were alighting in spots that were any good for photos. Not wanting to end the day empty handed, I stopped by the North 40 on my way home.

While I had great late afternoon light,

… getting them in the open was proving difficult again.

But that is what keeps us going back out there, always striving for the better shot.
