A brightly colored bird is captured mid-flight against a clear blue sky. The bird’s wings are fully extended, showing a beautiful fan of delicate feathers with light and dark contrasts. Its body features a stunning combination of colors: a fiery orange throat and face, bordered with bold black streaks on its crown and around the eyes. The bird’s underparts are pale, and its back shows olive and black markings. It is flying upward beside a branch of green-yellow leaves, which add a lively frame to the composition. The sunlight enhances the softness of the feathers and the warmth of the bird’s coloration. The photo is artistically composed and visually crisp. 📸 Photo credit: @gregory rothman 2024 (noted on the image ID The bird in the image is a Blackburnian Warbler (Setophaga fusca), a small songbird known for its striking and vivid plumage.
Last visit to NYC last year. Went on a walk with #BirdingBob in C Park. At the very end, we came upon a #Blackburnian Warbler (Setophaga fusca)
