Common Yellowthroat – Jennifer Sawicky Photography

Common Yellowthroat

These are a few more photos from my wonderful walk last Sunday morning. It took me some time to identify the type of bird when I got home; going back and forth from the computer screen to my bird book and bird websites to figure it out.

I included this not because it is a great picture (clearly, it isn't). When reviewing it though, it reminded me a bit of those old Where's Waldo books. There is a yellowthroat in this picture... somewhere :) — I included this not because it is a great picture (clearly, it isn’t).

I knew it wasn't a goldfinch I was seeing when flashes of brilliant yellow appeared in the trees and grasses while I was out walking (although I have seen goldfinches along other stretches of the dike before). It took a bit of searching through my bird book in order to figure out what to call this beauty. 1/400 sec, f6.3, ISO 400 — I knew it wasn’t a goldfinch I was seeing when flashes of brilliant yellow appeared in the trees and grasses while I was out walking (although I have seen goldfinches along other stretches of the dike before).
