Wilson's Warbler

I found this warbler outside of Anchorage, AK. I didn't succeed in getting a good image of this bird during migration, so I hoped to find one on his nesting grounds. I had to look around a bit, but one morning I went out for a hike looking for him when I heard his distinctive song. I like this image because of the light that is hitting him. Also, the image shows his diminutive size. So small, yet he is such a force. He migrated from central Mexico to southeastern Alaska--about 5,000 miles.
