Food for Photographers

Many of the madrone tree berries are at full ripeness and are being accessed by American robins, Northern flickers and other birds.  The berries provide a nice background for photographs.  These photos were taken around the Cap Sante area this past weekend.

And while I was out photographing robins in the madrones, I happened across this Orange-crowned warbler looking for insects in the Ocean Spray bushes.  In confirming the identity of this warbler I must admit that I never realized how much this warbler could look like a female MacGillivray’s warbler.  They both have broken eye rings but I believe that the MacGilivray’s warbler’s “hood” extends further down its breast.DSC_6330 20131006-05 DSC_6318 20131006-04
