The wind was quite blustery when I walked the trail this morning. When I spotted a yellow warbler land in a small gray birch sapling, I knew I'd have difficulty getting a decent shot of the bird, due to the wind. Nevertheless, I kind of liked the result (top shot) -- the warbler, with an insect in its beak, held on while the wind blew the sapling almost sideways. Then, the bird flew into a hawthorn tree, where I was able to get a better shot, with a clearer view of the insect in its beak. It is a male yellow warbler, as told by the distinct orange streaks on its breast. Both parents feed their offspring.
