This is a very small song bird. They stay in the tree tops and continuously move. I never even try to capture photographs of them. However, I was 3 stories up in a tower covered by tree branches.
I rarely climb up since it views miles of brown marsh I know well. This day was almost raining so I climbed up instead of walking. Over a short time the trees were filled with these elusive little guys.

I now realize I should have done this as soon as the leaves feel away. Migrating birds are passing through the marshes and this is a perfect spot.
[ Smiles ] Lovely photos of a beautiful bird!
Thank you. These little birds are harder to capture than the usual big animals I photograph.
Very nice!
Thank you. I will be going back up in the tower before migration is over. It’s still warm here so the birds will be around a little longer.
