White-throated Sparrow (Zonotrichia albicollis)

Another one of my lifers. I really should edit the RAW file of this one. I think I could probably rescue some detail from out of the sharp shadows on his face. I just haven't had the time to do any editing yet. Preferably, of course, I should have waited for him to turn and face the light, but I grabbed what I could. Good choice, as it turned out, since he never did turn. Instead he flew off :S

Now to do some browsing during half-time.
