Up in northern Quebec, I got to photograph songbird migration in a very special way this year. Thank's to some unique weather conditions, many waves of warblers were foraging at the shoreline, for multiple days. One of my favourite photo ended being one where I didn't quite have the proximity of previous encounters. I used my 100-400 f/8 to capture the contrasty scene. I liked how this Blackburnian Warbler stood out in that little shadowy patch in the rocks.
