Each Spring, songbirds return to their breeding ranges in North America. Many find their way to the Northeastern U.S. where birders and photographers alike flock to city parks to catch a glimpse of these colorful birds. While these locations make for easier sightings, they’re not always ideal for photography.
That is why I find and photograph them in their preferred nesting habitat. Here, males lay claim to territory by singing from select perches to attract mates and thwart other males. They do all of this in a fairly confined area, where they're movements and behaviors can become predictable to the observational birder. This is where I photograph them.
