Last Friday at Occoquan Bay National Wildlife Refuge I captured this fun little image of a Yellow-rumped Warbler (Setophaga coronata) in mid-air as it hopped to a new position on a tree with colorful fall foliage. I am pretty sure that the warbler was stationary when I clicked off a short burst of shots and luck played a big role in me being able to capture this moment.

Great timing!

Thanks, Wally. You know how it is with wildlife photography–no matter how skilled you may be, quite often luck is a key factor. If there is any chance of getting a photo, my default approach is to take the shot–I can always delete the ones that don’t come out.
