These fast and active little birds are always a challenge. I found this pair on a very active walk in Kissena Park here in NYC as the sun was setting on a cloudy day. They were hopping between shrubs and trees with vines so it was very tricky to get a clean shot. Eventually I figured out where they would go and waited for them to visit those porches. I enjoyed the challenge of photographing them and I'm sharing my favorites.

Despite going to 4/3 I still use my big tripod and gimbal with a red dot sight for warblers.These are extremely difficult birds to capture and you did a superb job. I

Great captures Morris. Those little ones are too fast to be at one spot for more than a couple of seconds.
# 2 & 3 are my favorites.
