Thanks, Jeremy.
If you ask me, this is one of our most beautiful sparrows.
Sorry about the soft focus.

Very nice shots, A little surprised that you managed focus at all, the branches make it very difficult to get a lock. Or did you use manual focus??.

Be careful out there!

Very nice Barry, they sure do love the low scrub and sticks. I have not seen but one this year. Number one is giving you quite a look!

Thanks a bunch, John, John, and Bret.
Bret, yes that is quite the look :-) Also, a cooper’s hawk was in the area so these fellows weren’t straying far from cover.
John, I was using the center auto-focus point but still found it difficult to get a lock on them because of all the brush.
Thanks again.
