Haven't seen these here before.

I've seen sparrows posted here before but not these two species. The first one is a Lincoln's Sparrow, which is rather uncommon for the Ottawa region, so I was glad to get such a clear look at him. The second is a Swamp Sparrow, in full song - a bird which is common, but quite shy. Both of these shots were taken at Petrie Island.

Stunning, perfect captures Dan, well done indeed. I love both, beautiful little birds

Great shots, Dancad, is that using your Sigma lens?

Thanks! Yes it is. For those of you on a budget and looking for a zoom lens I strongly recommend this one. Sometimes I do wish I had better reach but it just makes me use better stalking methods and some of the results I've achieved so far have been satisfactory...:D

Stunning shots. Looked at the pictures before the name, I should have known better.

[Becca]

Those are beautiful shots! I've yet been able to get a clear shot of any bird. Nice to know that I have a lens thats capable of it (even if I'm not!)

Great shots! And congrats on the ID...sparrows can be difficult!

[DigitalMDX]

fantastic shots!
I see frames in a lot of posted photos, can someone tell me what program you are using to create these? Is there a "frame program" or are you building these in photoshop?
Thanks!

[Blue Deuce]

Perfect in every way.

[Airedale1]

That first shot is simply beautiful. Fantastic composition! I love the way the gently bending reed frames the subject.

[HJMinard]

[TammieO]

Wonderful pair of photos. The composition on the first is outstanding.
