White Throated Sparrow Fully Dressed

Very nice. I like them...for small birds being so hard to catch, what are you using to get 'em fairly sharp like this? I assume a tripod? or are they handheld? Either way, a very nice plummage, for this type of bird. Nicely captured.

Excellent shots, Gary. I've never seen this species before.

Truly the best White-throated photos I have seen. Well done!!

Nice group of shots there Gary! I like the third best for its extra water drops on the blades of grass. One of the prettiest sparrows.

Beautiful and well captured images Gary.

Wonderful shots Gary.

Very cute, Gary! I love the proud pose in #2. Too bad it doesn't have the dewdrops of #3, that would have been perfect

Gary this is probably my favourite sparrow species. I'm still looking for my first sighting (and first capture) of this bird this year.

Thanks for the comment and yes Tripod mounted 400 F5.6 at knee level while I am sitting in an adirondack chair. There were at leat two of these guys in the yard and they would sometines come pretty close. Today it finally got sunny in the PM but they were nowhere in sight

And a big thank you to Grizz, Keith, Rick, Joe, A.J., Dan, Reyno, Bill, Bea and Stephen

Excellent shots as always Gary. ISO 1000...wow. Love the pose and composition.

Another very nice series Gary! I'm intrigued by the use of the blur tool on the BG. I'll have to remember that one for some situations. Thanks for sharing that bit of PP info.
