The first Christopher Dodds X Sony of Canada photo walk at Point Pelee National Park was a massive success with a great group of keen photographers. Birding started a bit slow in the fog, but thankfully, the rain held off, and we had a busy afternoon with some fantastic birds. We saw many Black-throated Blue Warblers among the mix, and while they were pretty active, they did settle down and pose for pictures occasionally.

This particular Black-throated Blue Warbler paused briefly behind some thick vegetation. I quickly shifted my position to get the right light angle, pre-visualizing the perch and the light. Sure enough, the warbler landed just as I brought my camera up to my eye. Fun fact: the Black-throated Blue Warbler has a distinctive, buzzy song that some people describe as sounding like "I am so la-zee."
