20131002 157 Bay-breasted Warbler.jpg

Image of a Bay-breasted Warbler in a Hackberry Tree in front of our house.

I found approximately a dozen Warblers, Kinglets and Vireos feeding in the Hackberry tree (five Yellow-rumped, three Nashville & two Byay-breasted Warblers; one Ruby-crowned Kinglet and one Red-eyed Vireo.
The Bay-breasted Warblers hopped around quite a bit, but gave me considerable opportunity to get quite a few shots of them amidst the Fall-coloured foliage. This is a "lifer" for me. To catch it in the clear right in front of my house is a special bonus.

I always wander how you can spot them. So small and in the middle of those leaves

What a bounty of birds you saw. I am envious! This is a terrific shot, especially against that pretty foliage.

Very nice bird.
Would be hard to see between the colored foliage.

A very pretty bird, they are certainly well camouflaged in the foliage. V
