I mostly take pictures of birds that come to the yard, I have planted shrubs and plants that attract birds and pollinators, I also have a water feature that the birds love. With the hot weather the yard was very quiet with mostly just hummingbirds but there was some good days and since I seem to be retired now I was able to be there when something did come through.
Some warblers are only seen for a few day's going north and a few day's going south so you have to be ready for the few seconds they might be perched in front of you, I will use a blind and I am ten to 14 feet away from them, if in the shade I use my 400 2.8 wide open and if there is sun I put on the 1.7 teleconverter and move back a couple of feet and shoot at 5.6.
Black-throated Gray Warbler.
Common Yellowthroat warbler
Orange-crowned Warbler, on hot days they will do this to let the heat out.
Townsend's Warbler.
Wilson's Warbler.
Yellow Warbler.
Yellow-rumped Warbler.
Flycatcher's and Vireo's, they like to hit the water with a splash then flyback into cover but sometimes they will pick a perch in the open and repeatedly fly back to that spot.
Warbling Vireo.
Hammond's Flycatcher.
Hutton's Vireo.
Song Sparrow.
Lincoln Sparrow.
Spotted Towee.
White-crowned Sparrow.
I use a Nikon D700 and 400 2.8 af-i lens that was built in the 90's which seem to be considered the olden days now.
Thanks for looking, any questions ask away, part 2 is coming still lots more birds.
