This Yellow-rumped Warbler (Setophaga coronata) seemed to be celebrating the fact that it had snagged one of the few remaining poison ivy berries when I spotted him in mid-November at Occoquan Bay National Wildlife Refuge. I decided not to crop this image too closely because I like the way that the autumn leaves and the gumtree seedpods provide a real sense of the environment in which I found this beautiful little bird.

I do like the composition. Very nice. A bit too close to poison ivy for me, though.
Very nice photograph, Mike.
I like your presentation of the bird within its habitat.
It does look happy!
It’s a perfectly lovely photo, Mike.

Nice capture with the berry in its beak, and I like that you left the autumn leaves and pods for context.
Nice Mike! Like how it is centered in the Sweetgum pods & leaves!
Thanks, Reed. I sometimes have to fight my normal impulse, which is always to zoom or crop as close as I can. Sometimes it is nice to show more of the environment, whether by choice or by necessity.
