Black-throated Blue Warbler

[Glenn Bartley]

Here's one from my recent trip back to Ontario. This is one of my favourite warblers so I was really keen to try to photograph them this year. I found a great area for them. Unfortunately the mosquitoes were insane. I probably got about 100 bites on my face alone while trying to find and photograph this guy...totally worth it

Beautiful shot. I'd like to try chasing these too. We had one sighting here in the Seattle area, but it didn't stick around.
