When photographing wildlife Salt Spring's Rhen Levy loves trying to capture the tiniest birds, like this Wilson’s Warbler, who is a spring-time visitor. The friendly little fellow in this shot was flitting through the thickets and reeds by the pond like a bright yellow sprite, landing right at the photographer's feet at times, and then popping up a few seconds later to perch on a low branch, where he would sing a quick hello.

"These very active warblers are almost constantly on the move catching insects, so I felt very lucky when he gave me a wink and even seemed to be smiling. What a heart-warming experience!" Rhen says.
