Ici, ce n'est pas tant la qualité de la photo que la rareté de l'oiseau qui rend celle-ci intéressante. Nous y étions en décembre 2007 et j'ai eu la chance d'observer et de photographier cette magnifique Paruline d'Angela (Dendroica angelae) découverte en 1971 et étudiée depuis par l'Université Cornell. Les collines boisées près de la Maricao State Forest à Porto Rico constituent le seul endroit au monde où cet oiseau a pu être observé depuis. Porto Rico est une superbe destination ornithologique, abritant 15 espèces endémiques.
Last December, we were in Puerto Rico, easternmost and smallest of the Greater Antilles, an exciting birding destination, harboring 15 species of birds found nowhere else and a large number of more widespread but attracting Caribbean species. The wooded foothills near Maricao State Forest are excellent for the Elfin Woods Warbler, discovered in 1971 and studied since by the Cornell University.

Very nice framing here. But is the bird a little out of focus?

@Vikram: Thank you very much Vikram. The bird is not a little out of focus - it is a lot out of focus and the croping is very important. The interest in that picture is that there is just of few birds of that specie in the World and only in that Forest. I am very lucky to have this bad picture :o)))
(your Comment noted!) I had the very same problem photographing a sparrow sitting on wire just like this . . but I had 14 million of them to choose from!
