Northern Parula with insect snack

A Northern Parula extracts an insect from its leaf cocoon during my Songbirds of Pelee Workshop at Point Pelee National Park of Canada.

I made this image in the harsh light on the afternoon of May 11, 2023, using my Sony a1, Sony 600mm f/4 and 2X extender (doubler). The Northern Parula must have been a fresh arrival that morning because it was “low & slow,” stopping for minutes between foraging for insects to refuel.

Due to a last-minute medical emergency, there is still space for you to join one of my favourite workshops at one of the top ten birding hotspots in the world. Learn more about my Songbirds of Pelee Workshop at Point Pelee National Park of Canada HERE.
