Description
Heard considerably more often than they are seen, Kentucky Warblers nest in the deciduous forests of the southeastern United States. Occasionally they overshoot their targets during migration, and a few turn up in Massachusetts each year. Unlike most wood warblers, Kentucky Warblers prefer the understory, and nest on the ground. They skulk around in low shrubbery, and sometimes can be incredibly difficult to see.Marblehead, Massachusetts

Beautiful shot! Excellent exposure and detail, and a wonderful perch!
Warblers are my favourite birds, but I have never seen a Kentucky - they are a rarity around here.

Nice shot! I have a new appreciation for the difficulty of photographing songbirds after visiting Magee Marsh last week.

I saw my first the other weekend, but certainly did not get this kind of view. He was very shy and we had to be very quiet just to get quick glimpses at him. LOVE this photo!

Outstanding capture. One of the more elusive of the warbler species. You certainly did a wonderful job capturing this guy. Hooded Warblers and Kentucky Warblers are two of the toughest warblers to find and photograph in the south.
