Swainson's Warbler at Shelby Park

Swainson's Warbler seen at Shelby Park in Nashville on May 18, 2011. The bird was singing intermittently in dense woods off a dirt trail not far from the pedestrian bridge that crosses the Cumberland River. I couldn't see the bird even though it was singing loudly at close range. It finally popped up into a small shrub long enough for a few obstructed view photo's.
All photo's were taken with the camera set to manual focus due to the thick foliage.
The clearest shot of the bird.
