First post!.... Yellow-rumped Warblers!

After much lurking, I've decided to start posting!

You've all seen the meme:
As you age, it's ridiculous how fast bird-watching creeps up on you. You spend your whole life being 100% indifferent to birds, and then one day you're like "damn is that a yellow-rumped warbler"

I retired, wife and I bought an small RV, and this little camera, and just having a great time, traveling around this great country and enjoying the sights!

Critic WANTED...as I WANT to get better...trust me, I can handle it.

PS, since I'm traveling, Im only using my phone w/Lightroom Mobile (purchased edition) to edit...downloading fullsize jpegs from card via card reader.

Welcome to TPF! We're glad to have you!

Wonderful shots. Terrific posture on the first one; an inquisitive little guy! Your depth of field is spot on and the light is lovely.

I envy you!!! That sounds like a blast.

Keep 'em coming!

Thanks Terri....I'm really trying to really pay attention to the sun when I'm out...I like it come over my shoulder, between directly behind me to about 45° off to either side.

And try to nail the exposure in camera (less time editing...just crop, tweak, post)

Howdy and welcome! This is a wonderful set of images! Birding with a camera is a lot of fun.
