While Yellowthroats are not bandits in the literal sense of the word, their striking mask does give the appearance. Yellowthroats are sculkers as they pop in and out of the cattails, so maybe the mask is fitting. It has taken me at least three years of attemps to get this image. Yellowthroats seem to seldom leave the cattails and when they do they seem to be always peeking out from behind a leaf or branch and then they are gone. Even better than that sometimes when I am focusing in on another bird, they will pop up next to me clearly out of the focal range of my lens and taunt me. These little buggers are just mean. At any rate, this guy screwed up and I got him! I hope you enjoy...... Oh, its perched on a dead annis/phennel bush.

Great capture! I am glad you were persistent. I was trying to get one of these but did not succeed in any good shots. So glad to have yours to enjoy.

It is a beauty! Three years is a long time to endure their tempting you. I enjoy his colors and details. A wonderful glowing background to show him off.

every day is a gift......that's why it's called the present!!
I think I would have forgotten what kind of bird it was in three years. But then, I'm old. :) What a beauty Garrett and I applaud your persistence.
It looks like it might be a little bow-legged. I have never noticed a bow-legged bird before. Beautiful.

Life is a Constant Audition
Love those spindly legs hanging on. He looks like he is about ready to do the "splits". Excellent.

Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass, it's about learning to dance in the rain
I guess like the Lone Ranger the mask is giving him a bum rap. LOL. He is pretty and must be very small judging from the limbs he is on. Great post.

I got this little cutie in the VB and immediately fell in love with him! He must have felt your endurance and finally decided to pose for you! What a lovely photo, and he has gorgeous colours. So bright and cheerful, well, at least he knows where to hide and live...a precious photo. Congrats Garrett!! Verena

Use your imagination when photographing, that's when you know your subject is in focus.
Wonderful.

Great shot, I love this. We had a good year here for Warblers passing through. I logged several first time birds for me this spring.

Fear less, hope more; Eat less, chew more; Whine less, breathe more; Talk less, say more; Love more, and all good things will be yours.
In addition to the excellent clarity I love the colors! What a great shot!
