I see you, too
Butterbutt, home
It's been a fine sunny day for warblers in the tree tops, and with the leaves still little more than a green haze, I'm able to watch the jewels of the canopy... and photograph them. The big lens gives me the additional reach, to say nothing of amazing clarity, that I've needed to capture these birds, which all too often don't come within easy camera range—well, the range of the equipment I can afford. The warblers have also been singing up a storm, so I've been able to record visuals and vocals... and try to put both in my memory banks. This "butterbutt"—my favorite common name for the Yellow-rumped Warbler has been putting on a show all morning, and as he gleaned insects off the tree branches, he stopped to watch the documenter. Curious bird.
