First of all, they are usually found at the top 1/3 of trees. This leads to a condition that birders call, "Warblers' neck." Fortunately, it is only a temporary condition.

Secondly, most Warblers do not "hang around." Many times, you have only seconds to aim your camera after you spot the bird. Even then, while it is in your view, it hops from branch to branch.

The photos you post are wonderful.

Well done. Or as they say at the Herman Melville Elementary School in Portsmouth RI, “Whale Done.”
