While I was photographing this American Redstart, I heard comments from several people about how challenging it is to get a good photo of one of these veritable perpetual motion machines. Is the constant motion of the bird though the dense vegetation wasn’t challenging enough, it was sunny providing some extreme contrast resulting in lots of blown highlights and distracting backgrounds. Thank goodness for digital!
