20100623 156 Brewster's Warbler 2a.jpg

Chaffey's Locks

A gem from 10 years ago.This pretty little fella is a hybrid of a Golden-winged Warbler (click "NEXT" to see the one that I posted yesterday) and a Blue-winged Warbler, which I have yet to see. This is not the best image, but beggars can't be choosers as I and a few others were so exited to find it that I forgot to adjust my camera settings for the relatively poor light. We also only saw it for a few minutes. We found it in the same general area where we have seen the Golden-winged Warbler on several occasions.

Nikon D300S ,Nikkor 500mm f/4D IF-ED AF-S II ,1.4 T.C.
1/1600s f/5.6 at 700.0mm iso400 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto
