This beautiful warbler spends a lot of its time foraging on or near the ground frequently in shady environs. This individual had a territory immediately adjacent to two others so I figured he might be especially responsive to my efforts especially on a side of his territory that was not apparently adjacent to one of the others. Using playback of ONE three second song he came right in. I immediately stopped and further surveyed the area. I found the fallen snag and positioned it in a place I felt he would favor. Kentucky warblers favor fallen logs and snags for longer periods of perching. I found the nearby yellow flowers and positioned them near the snag (a rural area not a park). I played an occasional chip note observing his behavior all along and he soon perched where I had envisioned him. A cleaner background may have been possible but the dense tall grasses with the snag slightly elevated enough to see him provided a comfortable environment for him and for a quick efficient session. Being familiar with the habitat and habits of your target species and carefully observiing your subject's response to your efforts is very important for an efficient session and for knowing when to CEASE your efforts.
MY general approach:
1) When pursuing a species ON breeding grounds choose an area where it is relatively plentiful and NOT where it is relatively uncommon or rare.
2)Know everything you can about the species and it's habitat and habits.
3)Know it's song.
4)Observe
5)Use any playback as sparingly as possible always observing.
6)Think, take your time, observe.
7) Know when to stop!!!!

Had this crazy idea to take the drive to Susquehanna SP in Maryland yesterday, hoping there was no rain when I got there. The rain held off, but it was very overcast and dark in the very dense woods. The drive isn't bad, didn't take long at all. Definitely worth a trip there.
I parked Here

and took the Green trail to about here

Plenty of birds there.
Big thanks goes to Mike Grubb for getting me to the right area.
Kentucky warbler ( Geothlypis formosa ) 6-01-2018 It took an hour to find it - its seems that it hadn't establish a territory yet , well protected from birders by countless mosquitoes .

I had a great few days of warbler photography this May in Virginia. The forest was alive with birdsong, and it was very pleasant to walk around the woods. A gorgeous Kentucky Warbler (Geothlypis formosa) posed on an open perch, letting me get a couple of nice images. I love the month of May...it's arguably the best month for birds out of the entire year.
A lifer for me. This one was seen and heard at a local bird area. We went there the next day and heard him singing near a creek, before to long he made an appearance.
Unlike most songbirds, a male Kentucky Warbler appears to sing only one song type. He will sing the same song throughout his life.

Kentucky back-roads photo.
Thank you all for your visits comments and faves much appreciated!
Have a great weekend!
Found in Kentucky last March with stormy skies - the third buzzard tried to hide but a close inspection will reveal its red markings.
This is one of my favorite places near my home that I keep coming back to photograph. Even though it is the same place, each sunrise here is different.

TTI B36-7 5827 was on the rear of a coal train heading to an offloading facility on the Ohio River on a pleasant April afternoon in 2010, when coal was still king.
The war on fossil fuels soon took out coal and idled the classic TTI Dash 7 fleet.
A pair of TTI B36-7s pose for the cameras on a hot summer evening in Paris in 2014. The war on coal was in full swing at the time, and in 2016 it was announced that coal has lost the battle. As of now, the TTI is idled and all of those nifty GEs are stored and the TTI employees are waiting for better times to return.
Thanks go out to the fine folks at TTI and CSX for allowing this night session; my thoughts and prayers are with you guys for the return of coal and the good times.
Roll Coal.
