Kevin,

There are so many Common Yellowthroats at Pheasant Branch right now it's difficult not to get a good photograph of them. With the setting sun behind me, I walked east on the trails and waited for them to pop-up from the dense vegetation. It's easy to get a photograph of them from 25 to 35 feet away. The female at the bottom came out from the side of some thick brush as I was walking downhill - I don't think she saw me until I was right at the scope's close focus, so it was a lucky shot.

Mike M.
