I'd estimate that on average, I see one Golden-winged Warbler every other year in migration. And when I do, it's almost always a bird that's high up in the canopy, where I get some glimpses with binoculars, but nothing remotely close to an opportunity for a good photo. Given the lack of opportunity I guess I should be glad for any decent, close photos of the species, which I did manage to get in May of 2015, as the bird below deliberately foraged in the foliage of a tree that was at eye level.
