I know how it feels as I do exactly the same, especially the ones that dart about so quickly!

Thanks Debbie...I took about 50 horrible shots of warblers yesterday...so, I'll agree with you on that!
Leuba, refers to the male...here's a link to a male I had a couple of weeks ago. I guess the males migrate first as a group & then come the females.

Everything about the photos is just beautiful, Claire. Wonder why this warbler is called "black-throated" ?
