This bird landed so close to my camera I had to adjust my lens to 100mm from 200mm. It just sat there not afraid at all while I fired off a few shots. Anyone know what type it is?

Sorry Gregg, I know as much about birds as I do about plants and flowers. I know a good shot when I see it and I see it now.

Of course I knew it was the Yellow Warbler Gregg more commonly known as the Fearless one ;o)

Such fine detail on this pretty little bird .. well done.
