Seven Seconds With a Black and White Warbler







My sit still and wait method paid off.
It was seven seconds from the first shot to the last.

Lynne, you are getting to be a top notch bird photographer! I love these little warblers; most of the time I just hear them but occasionally one will show itself.

Hi Lynne, you have done it again!
Absolutely beautiful photos of
that Black and White Warbler. I
think your work should be published nationally! Seriously.

Frieberg; there is something about the way they hold their wings.
Yours is a much better shot by the
way.

Lynn, these are fabulous! What great photos - you clearly are a bird whisperer.

Ruth said...

Seven seconds of a warbler out in the open! You captured it beautifully.

Kyle said...

Lynne, all I can say is, "Wow!" Wonderful captures of yet another warbler I've never even seen. (My life list is sorely lacking in the warbler division.)

Linda in Erie said...

Just how do you do it?! Those are wonderful. I barely get to focus my eyes on a black and white and it's gone let alone get a photo. Are you pishing?

LauraHinNJ said...

It sure did!

Lovely!

Beth said...

WOW!

Excellent series Lynne! It takes a lot of patience to get good photos of Warblers.

Jayne said...

Gorgeous Lynne! And he perched just perfectly on that piece of limb, almost as if he was ready for prime time!

Mary said...

That Warbler must have liked you. Goooood job!

Tina said...

Lynne,
He is gorgeous and I'm jealous that you got those other 6 seconds..I have only seen a flash of one scooting among the leaves. You did a great job of capturing him in all his glory in such a short time!!

BirdBoy said...

WOW those pictures are beautiful!

troutbirder said...

Fantastic pics Lynne. I've got to work on the sit still technique. Its the still part that is so hard.

Crafty Green Poet said...

Montanagirl said...

Such beautiful shots of this little guy. I have never seen one of these. He's so flashy. You did a superb job of "capturing" him. Keep up the good work.

Marsha said...

I am so JEALOUS! Wow, I have never seen such great b/w warbler shots since they never stay still. Yours are so gorgeous!

Larry said...

What is up with you? Your turning into a female version of Dr. Doolittle with the birds!

Heidi said...

Excellent work with the warbler! Quickest birds around - next to swallows that I can't even track in binoculars, let alone a camera :)

dguzman said...

WOW! I love B&Ws -- they're the first warbler I ever ID'd by myself. It was kind-of a gimme, I know--but I was proud!

RuthieJ said...

gorgeous, gorgeous pictures Lynne! You and that camera are doing some wonderful things up at Hasty Brook!

Q said...

WOW!You used your seven seconds perfectly...love the photographs.

Leedra said...

Wonderfully great photos. How did you get him to sit in that spot. When they sit for me they are behind the leave, or twig, or something.

Kathie Brown said...

Lynne, these photos are amazing! Wow! What a look you got!

nina at Nature Remains. said...

Oh so pretty!
What more to say?

(great patience=great picture)

That black and white outfit of the Black-and-White Warbler makes me think of Elvis Presley!!??

Great pics! Such a beautiful bird.

FYI:
http://www.walden.org/Institute/thoreau/writings/Misquotations/UseWhatTalent.htm

“Use what talent you possess: the woods would be very silent if no birds sang except those that sang best.”

The first known use, although it was unattributed, is from The Ladies Repository: A Monthly Periodical, Devoted to Literature, Arts, and Religion, September 1874, p. 231. It was reprinted two years later in The Latter-Day Saints’ Millennial Star, number 37, volume XXXVIII (Monday: September 11, 1876) p. 583.

This quotation has also been erroneously and extensively attributed to Henry Van Dyke (1852-1933).

Larry Jordan said...

Awesome captures Lynne! Being still and letting the birds come to you does pay off!

quarksparrow said...

I adore these warblers -- such endearing birds. You've certainly done him justice here.
