Title: Humber River Trail May 5
Post by: Ally on May 05, 2022, 07:13:12 PM
The belted kingfisher gave me lots of chances today, unexpectedly. So I did not expect. She would even perch on a clean branch on a small tree. And I spooked her, three times. She was laughing at me.

I was baffled by the ID of the warbler.

Excellent shot of kingfisher. I removed some of the unnecessary branches and rotated it a bit. Nice blurred background. Did you order that special?

Rough-winged swallow on isolated perch is also quite good. That is the plainest-looking female Pine warbler that I have ever seen.

Thanks. I changed back to ISO400 for this shot. The high ISO flight shots need more practising.


Plain indeed. And she was up high and quite alone. I thought it was a kinglet first from bottom up.
