I had a great trip to Point Pelee last week. I missed out on the fallout that occurred a couple of days before I arrived, but there was still lots to see. I will likely need to split these photos into 3 posts and thought that I would start with some "Yellow" Warblers.

What a wonderful place that must be and you obviously made the most of it.
Fabulous shots of birds I'll likely never see. They must have been at point-blank
range and when does that ever happen around here. Glad you had a good time.
Can't wait for the next installment. That double barrel image stabilization you
bring to muster must be amazing. I ran into a guy shooting a Scarlet Tanager
with a 500mm and he got a great shot at 1/200 sec. Hell, I can't do that with
my 200mm. Anything below 1/800 sec and I know it will be pure luck if it works
out.

Thanks Shortsighted. The dual image stabilization does come in handy. The last shot of the female Prothonotary Warbler was shot at ISO400 and 1/60s. I would have needed ISO5000 if I had shot this at 1/800s.
