Photographer's Statement:

I view forests as places that should have abundant wildlife during all seasons, and this photo showcases an organism utilizing a forest being regrown, an area near Lucky Peak that’s part of the Intermountain Bird Observatory’s restoration projects. This warbler is an example of how restoring trees and plants benefits wildlife.
