20080522 007 American Redstart SERIES.jpg

Mud Lake, Ottawa

Four Images:

I was lucky to get these shots, some almost full-frame. Two Redstarts were having a Territorial War. They were joined by a Yellow warbler who alternately chased away first one then the other Redstart both of whom kept returning. In the heat of the conflict they seemed to forget that two photographers were recording their activities. Mind you, it was not easy getting the shots as they were constantly on the move, but they often perched close by. It was quite overcast, but that seemed to work to our advantage as the colours came out quite well.
