Unfortunately no other shots. I only had my second camera body with me with not a lot of lens reach - and didn't really expect to be shooting warblers - I just suddenly found dozens of them all around in the tree canopy and started noticing how many different species were there. So I started trying to randomly shoot whatever I could, hoping to ID some later. This one we noticed looked different, and noone could put a firm ID on it, so I tried to get a photo as it moved high up in the tree and this was the only one I managed - it's a very heavy crop and shot through a lot of leaves and branches. I haven't ever photographed or seen an orange-crowned, so it's not one I'm familiar with or thought of - I thought on scene it might have been a cape may. There were B&W, yellow-rumped, palm, pine, prairie, yellow-throat warblers as well as n. parula, blue-headed vireo, bg gnatcatchers, and possibly a few others - all in the same 2 trees - probably 40-50 birds.
