Wow!  Okay, tell me your secrets!  How in the world do you get so many birds out on branches without tons of other branches and leaves, etc. in the background?!!

Luck mainly, and just taking a ton of photos, wish I had a secret I could share 😅I watched this guy move around the relatively clear interior of a brightly lit bush and waited for him to land on a branch in the open for like 10 seconds, which seems like an eternity when it comes to warblers, but it worked for me. Also, the fact that I've taken like 80% of my good photos this spring at Tawas Pt. State Park, where there's a big concentration of migrants at the tip allowing for amazing photo opportunities, helps a bit 😂

Sage thrashers can be a little hard to find.  But I found a pair!  I don't know which is which!   Maybe dad with lunch?

Either way they are great!

I am not sure what bird is this, there was a small flock.    Photo taken in Bishop, the Calif high desert.

Not that great, but one of my only photos today. White-eyed Vireo.
