We must all suffer from one of two pains: the pain of discipline or the pain of regret…

It's warbler season again, and I am excited to capture new images of birds I have never photographed. Here in Southern California, the season began with more yellow-rumped warblers. Next, the orange-crowned warblers showed up. I heard one on my morning walk, but they were so fast that I didn't get a single shot on the first day. Then I heard their distinct song in my backyard. I tried a couple of times in my backyard, but I didn't have much luck. After several more tries, I saw them again in the same location where I initially spotted them. What I did differently this time was to stay a bit away from the area the birds frequented and waited. After what felt like ages, the birds came back to the brush. They were still hopping around like crazy, but I got a few images even with all the mad movements. An interesting thing about this warbler is that the orange crown in its name is only visible when it raises the tuft of feathers on the top of its head. If you enlarge the image, you can see the orange crown peeking through.
