The Common Yellow Throat is a colourful bird. Right now you can hear them calling and singing everywhere. They are among the many species of warblers that help keep our insect population in check. Their nests should be starting to be be populated with eggs any time now.
Thank you for visiting my site. I consider myself to be lucky living where I do. Everyday I wake up to a wealth of interesting visual scenarios. Most of my pictures are Wildlife and Nature taken from around the area. The area specifically being Fort Frances Ontario on beautiful Rainy Lake. Feel free to comment on what you see. I look forward to hearing from you. If you like what you see, please rate it. Better yet, bookmark the site and drop back often. I will be posting daily.

Elora from Genoa, Italy
like how your framing series is continuing, but I wonder whether in the last two a more contrasting frame would have worked better. What do you think?

@Elora: I tend to agree with you. I have quite a few of these ready made frames. I have been exceptionally busy lately. Not much time. Just grabbed first one I found and used it. I am experimenting looking for the right combination. Thank you for the comment.
@mohkum: Thank you very much.

Great action capture! Personally, I like the more subtle framing- I am of the opinion that too much contrast might compete for my attention with your main subject, which is that beautiful bird :)

@Tracy: Thank you Tracy. I am experimenting. Glad to hear your opinion.
B. Thomas from Arlington, Texas, United States
I just saw your post from yesterday and commented there. Thank you! I think your shots are so good that they do not need any framing, and it might even distract from the perfection you achieve. On the other hand, it's always fun to try new things. ;-)))

@B. Thomas: Thanks Barbara. I like experimenting. I also learn form others opinions and critques. Your words are most kind and welcomed.
