I think I was becoming lulled into accepting and even\u00a0presuming the same old boring\u00a0settings for Yellow-rumped Warblers.<\/p>\n

I’ve been photographing Yellow-rumped Warblers in a tree cluttered with branches near my home for a couple of weeks now and I was always delighted when I\u00a0could occasionally (actually very rarely)\u00a0get a clean background like I got in this photo taken\u00a0a week ago today. The bird is sharp and in nice light, there are\u00a0no distracting branches in the background and I even like the curved perch.<\/p>\n

But it’s still a “bird on a stick” and in my view there’s something missing necessary\u00a0to bring it up a notch.<\/p>\n

And that “something” is a more interesting and appealing setting and background. I\u00a0photographed this warbler yesterday morning at Bear River MBR on a perch I like and with a background that I find much more appealing. Most of the colors and textures come from curly dock in the background and I love the burnt sienna\/cinnamon tones it provides.<\/p>\n

It may still be a bird on a stick but for my tastes this “stick” is much more interesting than tree branches and so is the background.<\/p>\n

The warbler even gave me a much deserved dubious look for a moment which I quite like though I do wish the white spot on its tail wasn’t quite\u00a0so bright (I did tone it down a little).<\/p>\n

I also\u00a0wish I’d had enough time with this bird to take some verticals with more depth of field\u00a0to feature even\u00a0more of the perch. I think it’s potentially more interesting than many perches I see “nature”\u00a0photographers choose when they shoot setups…<\/p>\n
