Anne Elliott's photos with the keyword: 4 September 2016

I think I've given up of ever taking photos of Warblers - they are much too quick, constantly on the move and usually half hidden among the branches and leaves. Yesterday, 4 September 2016, however, I was in luck when this little Yellow-rumped Warbler became visible long enough to get a quick shot or two. The colouring should be more white than the creamy-beige colour. I had got up with the plan to drive to Brown-Lowery Provincial Park, SW of the city, but the heavily overcast sky just didn't show any signs of clearing. I need a sunny day when taking mushroom photos in the forest, otherwise my photos come out very grainy and blurry. I had hoped to put on a few more kilometres on my new car, to get more travel done in order to no longer break it in. Instead, as I was all ready to go out, I decided to go and join a group of friends for another birding walk in Carburn Park. It was very quiet, bird-wise, but it was so enjoyable to go for coffee and a bite to eat at Tim Horton's afterwards.
