Prairie Warbler in flight ready to catch an insect - Tamiami Trail - Florida Everglades. Miami
Photographically, migrant warblers are among the most difficult avian subjects. They are quite small and easily hide among leaves, often in dark shadows. They flit about in the tops of tall trees, frantically chasing insects, and rarely sit still for more than a second. Having several seconds with a cooperative individual, posing in the open, is a relative eternity in warbler photography.
Prairie warblers forage actively on tree branches, and sometimes fly around with the purpose of catching insects, which are the main food source of these birds.
