Or at least it had better be a black throated green warbler. Otherwise I could have saved a lot of typing by simply calling it "Bird on a Limb", though technically that is more of a small branch or a twig even. Is there even a difference between a limb, a branch and a twig? After all the limb of a 3 ft oak is a mere twig of a 30 ft oak.

A bit of an unseasonable image, at least where I'm located. If you happen to be enjoying warm weather with lots of green foliage, please spread some of the warmth my way. I dredged this image up from the bin. Shot sometime over the summer of an infrequent visitor to the backyard. I ended up rotating this image 90 degrees counter-clockwise from the way it was shot. I can't remember holding the camera at an odd angle to get the photo, but it just didn't look right presented on it's side.

It appears I'm rambling on again about nothing, as opposed to rambling on about something, like that is ever going to happen. So enjoy the photo and your comments are welcomed.

Great close-up Wendell. Getting a green bird to stand out against green foliage is no mean feat.

Very nice shot and lovely close up too.I like how you captured the light in the birds eye and with the bird leaning forward.The green foliage,works well as a frame work for the bird too.

Very nice close up. Very good clarity and well focused shot. Wonderful depth of focus with the blurry background. A little dark for my tastes. Also the two brown leaves look a little funky.

I like the two brown leaves I think they provide a necessary contrast among all the green (ok I admit green is not my favorite color) but this is well done.

The reason why the sunsets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB

I would love to send you some warm greens but they are covered in snow right now! I love how this warbler blends in with the image! Very nice shot!

Last night I lay in bed looking up at the stars in the sky and I thought to myself, where the heck is the ceiling.

Wendell, if we had the warm weather and greens, we sure would not intentially send them off to you. We hate winter too!! lol.
