That is a winning shot Heather. I love the composition, tones and the pose of the little bird. You can see a little bit of a spider web under the bird, I wonder if he has picked up on a spider. I would certainly include this picture in you collage. It is very special.

Thank you so much, Debra, very much appreciated. This opportunity came so unexpectedly as many of our favorite shots do I think. I suspect he lucked out on catching something because he flew off right after the next shot I got. It was a memorable few minutes for me and the photo will be well worth adding to the collage.

Thank you so much, Clifford, always appreciated. I'm glad now that I didn't get around to removing those dead branches.. the birds love them and I always get the best view of them on that part of the little tree.

Right into the action, bravo Heather. May be the window produce that soft colour tone effect. I love it very much. And of course, the young warbler is a real cuty. This would make a very nice 20x30 inches frame on a wall.

Thank you so much, Yves. The sky was very overcast and the lighting was spotty. Plus the window was steamed up a little from a dramatic overnight change in temperatures. I'm working on a collage of a few of my favorite bird photos for the wall so I really appreciate your suggestion.. this might just be one of the photos I include in it.

Description
Taken through my kitchen window. Quickly and ever so softly I dove across the room for the camera praying this little beauty would still be there when I got back. Fortunately I was able to get a very few photos before the little yellow-rumped warbler sped off..
