I had an absolutely stellar day for birding photography on Sunday.  I photographed several birds which can not only difficult to find, but very difficult to photograph, including this Ruby-crowned kinglet and Bewick’s wren on a little country lane just outside of Stanwood.  And I obtained very good multiple photographs of all of these birds.

I also encountered a large grouping of Yellow-rumped warblers, all of which seemed to be males. This example is of one of the Myrtle’s race.

On Fir Island, at the F&W HQ tract, I encountered another smaller (but more concentrated group of Yellow-rumped warblers… of both races. First up, another male of the Myrtle’s race, followed by a male of the Audubon race and finally a photo showing both races in the same photo, although only the Myrtle’s is in sharp focus.
