Description

This male Black-Throated Blue Warbler was very busy in my yard foraging to build up enough energy for migration. I sat all day to watch him hover and reach for flowers right up until dusk in my backyard.

“Birds are most active in the morning, but when they are migrating, they can be active all day. Take advantage during migrations to take photos.”
