My Favorite Wildlife Photos of 2017 - 12



Continuing with my favorite wildlife photos of 2017 (in alphabetical order):

Olive Warbler


The Olive Warbler is one of my favorite birds to photograph. I've mentioned before, how the name "Olive" warbler seems inappropriate since there is not a speck of olive color on the male. I'd prefer the name "Butterscotch" Warbler since it's hood is a rich butterscotch color.

The Olive Warbler lives above 7,000 feet and almost exclusively high up in Ponderosa Pines. So finding and getting a good photograph is always challenging. 

This one was singing away. I like the blue background and the out of focus pine needles behind the warbler.
