Nature clicks #224 - Yellow-throated Vireo

Yellow-throated Vireo  

Yesterday I mentioned my first sighting of a Yellow-throated Vireo in the Green Island Wetlands. I didn’t plan to show you this image because the bird was too far away and I cropped the heck out of it. The tree was on a little island in the water and I had no way to get closer, but it was important for me to make the click in order to find out what kind of bird it was. However, my friend Jeanine from Johannesburg in South Africa was asking if I had made a photo of the vireo since she had never seen one either. So here it is, not much detail and sharpness, and as I said before, it is cropped to death so you can at least see the bird in this photo. I have a second picture that shows the Yellow-throated Vireo more from the side but a shaking branch in front of the body makes it only useful for identification purposes. Well, this is how it goes in wildlife photography. Sometimes it takes several years before another, better chance comes again but if you don’t try again and again , you will never make the photo of your dreams…
