Very nice shot, Jimmy. This Lincoln's Sparrow was kind enough to duck below the branch in order to offer you a good shot of him. :p

Thank you, Mike
I've relied on an app called Seek to help me identify things in the wild.

Thanks Everyone

600mm on a DX sensor making it roughly equivalent to 900mm. And I cropped it to about 60% in PP.
I was very close to the bird, after slowly creeping closer I eventually got about 3 metres away.

Thanks so much for the specifics, John
Really appreciated!

Very nice set. Beautiful birds and you've maintained great detail in the focus and in the exposure control for the blacks.
