Bird banding: black throated blue warbler & common yellowthroat

[Mousetoescamper]

2. Thanks! Was it a birding trip with your son? Both of my kids are amateur photographers and have

higher quality gear than my own, but not much interest in birds.

I'm grateful to the BBC for letting me get close to the captive birds. Most of my photos of migratory songbirds are done with a long lens and not very good, like this one of a Blackburnian warbler, which was the best shot of the lot. I used a tripod and was certain that I had some crisp images in the camera. Why do they refuse to sit still for their portraits?!
