When I encountered this Northern Parula it was the end of a very hot day with plenty of harsh light. In the last minutes before the sun went down the lighting was beautiful, transforming everything into a glorious scene. I felt so fortunate to have sight of this tiny feathered jewel at such a perfect time. I just love how the colors came out.
