Elusive warbler


Yesterday, if you can believe it, I spent two hours at the marsh (if I were just walking around the trail, not looking at anything, it would take me about 20 minutes). Part of that time was spent waiting for songbirds to stay still long enough for me to get a good shot. There are certainly enough of them around, but they're busy doing their thing and not posing for nosy people with cameras.

I was finally able to get this shot of a young Yellow-rumped Warbler. There were a number of them flitting about in the wooded section of the trail yesterday and today. They don't usually make much of a sound, so it would be easy enough to miss them altogether.
