    I've always wondered how people got photos like this. Luck is the best teacher sometimes. I was on a bridge, looking down at the sparrow. The background was the valley floor, which was dimly lit. There is very little post processing to this photo.

    This guy landed so close to me, I had to take its portrait. Song sparrows are ubiquitous near water in the springtime where I live. I'm still a fan!

    Morning warm up

    A song Sparrow gets ready for the day. I could have used a faster shutter speed, but the motion blur came out nicely.

    Anyone who knows me already expects my photo description to either be a single short phrase, or a dissertation. Somehow my mind doesn't work in the middle, LOL. Anyway, this is about the gear not the bird. There are thousands of these sweet little song sparrows on the forums already that have...

    Masquerading

    This Song Sparrow seems to have been masquerading as a Savannah Sparrow by dipping its head into some sort of pollen-rich blossom.

    Song Sparrow

    Good summer for these birds, have lots of Juvies around the yard. I haven't put a lot of seeds out and no feeders this summer. But just to give my birdy buddies a treat, occasionally I will spread some here and there and also some peanut butter which they seem to enjoy.

    Male Feeds Female.JPG

    It's hard to tell in this picture who is feeding who, but the smaller male Song Sparrow is feeding a larger female of an unidentified species. Is this a female song sparrow? If so, why does she look so different compared to usual pictures of a female?
