Warblers have tiny feet, though I usually can’t see them in my photos, because they are perched high in the trees. On Monday I was fortunate to capture a series of images of a Yellow-rumped Warbler (Setophaga coronata) at Occoquan Bay National Wildlife Refuge that was perched relatively low in the vegetation and you can actually see its feet.
The warbler was in almost constant motion and gave me a whole variety of poses in a very short period of time. Here are some of my favorites from my mini portrait session with this beautiful little Yellow-rumped Warbler.

What a delightful series of portraits. I love the rotund little bird and these photos have a lovely glow to them too.
Thanks, Laura. I am always amazed by the roundness of some of these birds. Of course, it may just be the angle at which I photographed them and we all know that the camera adds ten pounds to our appearance. 🙂
