I have an image of a Bay-breasted Warbler perching in almost this exact spot and taken only a few minutes earlier. When I stay in an area with my camera for awhile, or return to that spot repeatedly, it is interesting to see how many migrating birds make their way along the same branches, in the same shrubs, all in search of food.

They are like waves of foragers. Each wave looking to find something the others had missed. Birds really do us a great service in controlling insect populations.
