The last two times I had been out, it seemed like I was getting better and better at finding and photographing the spring warblers. Well that didn’t continue today as I tried for some of the early warblers that come to southern Michigan. Too much of a good thing breeds complacency – at least that’s what I try and tell myself after days like today. A whole day’s worth of work and I was only able to put one bird onto ‘film’. It was great to see spring finally come to Michigan and there definitely were warblers around, just this Yellow Warbler was the only one who wanted to cooperate. On cloudy, overcast days like today, I usually try and avoid getting the sky in the background. I thought with the brightness of the Yellow Warbler a high-key image could work though.
