And it’s probably not the kind of stretch you think it is. This wasn’t one of those leisurely stretches often done after resting and\u00a0meant to get the circulation going and increase flexibility. Far from it.<\/p>\n

Instead it was\u00a0a stretched out posture\u00a0near the\u00a0end of a mighty\u00a0jump. This Yellow Warbler in the Wasatch Mountains twelve days ago decided to\u00a0jump to a higher spot on the same\u00a0branch and it was done without using its wings. The intended landing spot is exactly where the bird is looking on the branch but those pesky leaves had to be cleared so it took some effort without the use of wings – thus the stretched-out pose during the jump.<\/p>\n

I guess it’s no big deal but the pose amuses me so I decided to share. Besides, I like most of\u00a0the setting and the leaves and branches framing the bird.<\/p>\n

The next\u00a0shot in the burst\u00a0was taken just as the warbler was touching down on the new spot. The wings never came out even a little for assistance\u00a0so it was a precision landing.<\/p>\n

I’m hoping to see some new migrants coming\u00a0through pretty soon but in the meantime Yellow Warblers and a few other species I continue to photograph on those rare occasions when I can go shooting\u00a0make entertaining and often colorful subjects.<\/p>\n
