Description

I was watching a group of Yellow Warblers darting in and out of the trees last year. This particular bird caught my eye because it would hang by its feet from a branch. I didn’t know it was searching for food, but snapped this image. Later, when I uploaded my pictures to my computer, I could finally see why it was doing this. Much to my surprise, below the Warbler was a group of about five gnats, in an incredibly “artsy”, non-straight line leading up toward the bird’s beak!! Wow! Luck and persistence paid off, as this is my favorite Yellow Warbler shot by far. No Photoshop magic or tricks–just simple cropping and sharpening. Thank you for voting!
