Here's a male house finch ...
and lastly my first Lincoln's Sparrow ...
These guys are very closely related to Song and Swamp Sparrows. -Carl -Carl

This shot shows the difference in temperature. Our redbuds are nearly finished flowering. The Lincoln's Sparrow is very nice too, I think I saw my first the other day but can't be sure. It definitely had a different appearance than a swamp sparrow. RESPECTING NATURE while photographing it...

The bg looks saturated enough to me. ngannet wrote: I really like the Junco shot. Great exposure. Bonus that it's in one of my favorite trees. This shot shows the difference in temperature.

For the House Finch I could be wrong but it looks like it's been run through a noise reduction software too heavily (at least thats the type of look you get when this happens). Well done on the Lincoln's! Daniel Cadieux

Well done on the Lincoln's! Thanks for the comments guys. I'm not sure what's up with the finch. It may just be the lighting and an incorrect exposure. I don't believe I over-noise reduced. I haven't had the time to go back and mess with the levels. -Carl
