Sometimes it really feels like the birds are messing with me. I know they aren’t really but I definitely felt that way this spring when I encountered this Kentucky Warbler. I had seen him foraging on the ground surrounded by weeds and dense vegetation. For quite some time I tried to get an unobscured photo but it just wasn’t happening. Eventually I gave up and started looking at some other birds in the area. After several minutes I looked up and saw this; he was sitting right in the open at eye-level staring me down. I just had to laugh as I clicked this photo.
