I realize that most all the photos in this section are outstanding and this one isn't exactly the up there with you birding pro's but it is the best bird photo that I've done to date. Any tips are greatly appreciated.
BTW, All I know of this bird is a California Sparrow. I'd appreciate any correction and possibly the true name. Thanks in advance.

Crafty little creatures and tough to capture. Good Job!

Thanks so much folks. This one was a long ways from my first bird though it is the first that I had the nerve to add here. It is however the first with the 20D. All the others were with my 300D and a smaller lens.
