The last time I wrote about this species I said that I was feeling Orange-crowned Warbler deprived. Just a few days later I had this beauty in my viewfinder.

I’m not sure why I didn’t share these photos back at the end of September when I took them. I know that I liked them well enough to process them and stash the photos in my 4 my galleries folder that I keep on my desktop.
The setting and how the warbler was framed by the leaves appeals to me plus I liked how well the colors of the plumage of the bird stood out.

While I didn’t get many different poses from the Orange-crowned Warbler it did change the position of its head several times. In this image I liked how the warbler tilted its bill skyward.
I am glad that I focused on this particular Orange-crowned Warbler because it was the last one I photographed during their fall migration. Hopefully next year I will see more than I did while they were here for their breeding season.
4 my galleries folder screenshot
I wanted to share a screenshot of the 4 my galleries folder that I keep on my desktop. This is where I store photos that I plan to share on my blog or galleries. Sometimes they are stored there until the next day, sometimes for a couple of weeks, and sometimes they are there for years. Just using the photos in this folder I could go a long time without being out in the field and I’d still have photos to share and journeys to write about.
My problem is picking out which images to share out of the ones I have stored. There are simply too many choices!
Life is good.

I love this post…it’s so interesting how you catalogue your images. I have a confession…I keep a folder with all of your posts for reference purposes. I know your portfolio is easily accessible but your posts, and the attendant remarks of your fellow wildlife enthusiasts, I find very inspiring. Thanks Mia.
Beautiful shot! Perhaps there will be an opportunity in Spring to get an image of one ‘flashing’ its orange crown patch!
Nice photo. I saw some in St George last week. I like the prairie falcon on the post with a meal.
Lots and lots of choices available to you.
Mind you, I suspect you would go stir crazy if you couldn’t get out and add to those choices.
Thank you – as always.
