After checking with some birders I know on a Canadian website, I have now properly identified this little fellow as a Song Sparrow and not a Swamp Sparrow as I previously thought.

This shot has very little processing...just a little overall contrast and sharpening of the bird. It's soft, but I liked the appearance as shot and kept my sometimes over editing grubby hands off!

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"
