On our recent trip to the left coast, I had a few target species in mind. One of them was the Townsend’s Warbler. They are very plentiful this year in the Monterey area. It was a fun time shooting these little wood warblers. The taxonomic name for this bird is Dendroica townsendi. Debdrioca derived from the Greek for tree (dendron) dweller (oicos for inhabit). While that is where you normally find them, in the trees, they will forage around on the ground for tasty bits which makes it a whole lot easer to get the image.

Awww, I miss having Townsends around. Man! This guy let you get nice and close - great photos, he's a looker. I just put some Pine Warbler pictures up - they keep coming to my suet feeders!

Great bird.
There certainly is a stunning range of warblers (and finches) in your neck of the woods.
Cheers and thanks for linking to WBW.

Really nice intimate portraits of a very colourful bird. I especially liked some if the colour contrasts with teh surrounding objects.
