Yellow

Properly framed

Most of the time it’s cloudy and the birds are hiding in the underbrush, high in the trees, and/or moving away as fast as possible. So it was extra nice to spend fifteen minutes in the sunshine recently with a pair or three of BirdingPI.com’s unofficial mascot, the Yellow Warbler. Incredibly cute, incredibly yellow.

[Photo editor’s comments: Nice shots! Seems like the D7500 can hold its own.]
