    Nice sparrow shot Dave! Too bad about the blade of grass blocking the bill.

    Now that is a red head. Is that a rofous crowned sparrow? I'm horrible at sparrow id.

    Nice Dave! thumb.gif

    You could maybe paint out the catchlight a teeny bit - it looks a bit unnatural.

    Sorry for being picky!rolleyes1.gif I really like the composition, color tones, and lighting, but want to see the face unobstructed! Small birds are really difficult to get all the elements to come together, and this one is very close!

    It IS a American Tree Sparrow
    Pg 280-281 Peterson's Eastern Bird Guide

    Despite the lighting it's not a bad shot at all!
    Overcast or early morning shots work best.
    ** Just a tip not knocking your photo **

    Reminds me of my Goldfinch shot I got earlier this year.
    Early morning lighting.
