Northern Parula

Great fun every spring is chasing the warblers, who are very adept at hiding from me and hiding in the bushes from photographs. During my trip to Key Biscayne I was lucky enough to catch the Northern Parula (Setophaga americana) (I think) in a seagrape tree (Coccoloba uvifera) .

I was very pleased with the overall greenish tint to this photograph and, of course the bokeh in the background. For the New Englander Florida is a paradise of new plant and bird species. You do have to be careful about venturing too close to the water’s edge!

One thought on “Northern Parula

  1. I so love this photograph… the small bird cradled within the large leaves. Wonderful texture and colors.
