If you've heard the hallowed words "sometimes, you get lucky," as the starting point of far too many posts, then, before I begin with the SYGL phrase, let me issue an apology. That done, it's often true—more often than many people will admit—that capturing certain shots is more a matter of luck than skill. Nothing illustrates this better than the image of a Black-throated Green Warbler I'm featuring today. Under normal circumstances, this incredibly pretty songbird is way more often heard than seen, and it's one of those birds that turn a student of all things avian into a listener rather than simply a watcher. Black-throated Greens typically spend their time capturing insects in the shelter of the leafed-out tree canopy and about the only indication that BTGs are present are its buzzy notes, which are usually translated as "zee, zee, zoo, zoo, zee." I've been hearing these often, but, for reasons I can't explain, today, a male BGT, in full and glorious breeding plumage, descended to eye level and put on a show, as it combed the racks of the local building supply store for nursery material, in this case, what looks like a beakful of spider silk. A lucky sighting—and shot—indeed.
