This Townsend's Warbler was foraging along the Owyhee River and posed briefly in the dappled light.

SaraG · 1 · 1d ago Thank you, Alison! I feel like warblers are incredibly challenging to photograph.

SaraG · 1 · 1d ago Exactly!! 😂
Ooh Living the dream of dappled light on a bird in a lovely habitat.
I was pretty thankful!! 😃
Yes no kidding. I didn't have a camera when we lived in a forest where there was a rainbow trout farm. The most beautiful fish when it leaps but 20-30k leaping at the same time with sum always filtered by the forest. I had lost my first one in a glacial ice storm in what is still a cranky glacier
Whoa! Sorry about your camera.
Great shot, such a hard subject
Thank you, 161! Got pretty lucky with birds at the Owyhee River this year.
