Photographer Tony Dvorak lugs his camera through bug-infested bogs, muggy rainforests, and, occasionally, even graveyards in his worldwide search for warblers—flamboyant little birds with a big visual presence.

Working an office job by day in downtown Buffalo, New York, Dvorak regularly heads to Forest Lawn cemetery during lunch breaks. It’s a green oasis in a concrete jungle, he says, and on one such jaunt he had in mind the latest gossip from the birder community: “There was a brilliant male Prothonotary flitting about.”
