Sunbathing

Another goal of today is to photograph the Prothonotary Warbler that is reported hanging around the observation deck for more than a week. I had no idea whether it had moved on, but shortly after I started looking it popped right onto this branch less than 20 feet away. That started a long but worthwhile day for me. There were a few times he was so busy foraging that I was completely ignored, allowing me to get some really close shots. I wish I had gotten a few sharp shots with a clean background. Still, this is by far the most productive day I've had in a while.
