I haven't seen too many of these colorful sparrows, typically found in grassy places with scattered trees. These were found in a city park, just before a ball game.

Oh my, great shots. I have wanted to see one of these for a couple years now, but so far, only in books. Great job. :)

A terrific looking Sparrow and one I would love to see one day. Very nice shots and I love the low angle as well as the DOF in the second shot.
