I love it when the darkness of the winter forest is lit up like a fireworks display by the first Spring blossoms, and the newly unfurled, translucent leaves. Valley country, Southwest France
Dunn in his Peterson Field Guide-Warblers writes of this species, "In threat display around nest, they flick their wings rapidly outwards and may fan or flip their tails."
I was working alone in Michigan on the posted late May date photograhing and observing a male Golden-w1nged Warbler foraging alongside a dirt road in regenerating habitat. I heard this MOWA singing not far off and played one song and went about observing the GWWA. Not too long later I heard the MOWA right alongside the road calling and was able to capture this display which has been described per above. I want to emphasize I remained on the dirt road and didn't spend very much time with this MOWA but the story illustrates how sparingly one can often use calls in the field when photographing. The MOWA is a late migrant so he was likely just starting to set up shop.

Continuing the nature theme: An old one taken on a dog walk in Gillingham along the river Waveney with my old Canon Ixus 700 compact digital. Not the best quality but raises a smirk anyway...
Diver. A beautiful coastal bird which is migratory, usually seen in the winter in the UK. Happy S.o.S.
