I was thrilled to capture this beautiful little bird in mid-air. It had been on that shoot behind it, but now you can see the feet hanging on air! My conclusion was that it is a type of finch, but I wasn't positive, and wanted feedback from anyone who knows what it is for sure. Friend Laura ID'd the bird as a Yellow Warbler. Check out this link and the second photo on the page - http://biology.csusb.edu/birds/species/Setophaga_petechia.php I got feedback from two others who say the bird is instead an Orange-Crowned Warbler. I do see a lot of similarity there too. Identifying birds can be so difficult!

These little bundles of energy almost never stay still. I did get some nice photos of it on that shoot, but this one is my favorite. It was the most difficult! We can learn a lot from the birds. In the Bible, Jesus said "Observe intently the birds of heaven; they do not sow seed or reap or gather into storehouses, yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not worth more than they are?” The bird in my photo has plenty to eat in Delta Ponds.
