Female Blackpoll Warbler

Female Blackpoll Warbler – Nikon D200, handheld, f7.1, 1/125, ISO 320, Nikkor 70-300mm VR at 300mm, natural light

I photographed this female Blackpoll Warbler (Setophaga striata) by the parking lot at Fort De Soto’s north beach a few years ago during migration. I had just left my vehicle when I spotted her and when I reached the grass next to the pavement I dropped down to the ground and belly crawled up to her.

I don’t know that I’ve ever seen this angle with a healthy, and alive, warbler, Mia. How neat that you were able to capture it! What a beautiful little bird.

Sweet shot, Mia. A warbler stayed put while you crawled to it? Cool!

Isn’t this wardbler so beautiful. I love it when you photograph the smaller birds so I can see them up close and personal. Carol

Great shot, and the angle is wonderful, nothing like a good belly crawl to ensure a great shot.

  Thanks Dan, crawling to get low angle images of birds tickles me… Literally!
