Connecticut Warbler
Am I happy with this shot? You bet! It is a Connecticut Warbler for gosh sake. It has been a nemesis to me. Of course, I wish that I didn't have to take the shot in the worst lighting I could imagine, but for me, it does not take away the incredible joy at finally seeing this bird. A ground skulker this bird put on an acrobatic display for our group as it flitted from low branch to low branch.
Profoundly grateful to Scott Barnes who not only let me join his Sandy Hook 1/2 day tour today., but also for making the initial spot.
I may not go back to see this bird again, but I am not done with the Connecticut Warbler. Now I need to get a shot in good light.
