Le Conte's Sparrow

Here's a juvenile Le Conte's that was checking me out while I stayed at a lakeside cabin this summer.

The weather had turned cloudy so I used a higher ISO , but with the 40D, usually anything over 320 tends to be a bit noisy in shadow..

I have a shot of this particular bird with a clean background and perch from earlier in the day, but wanted to convey the bird in its habitat for this shot, blades of grass n' all.
I also could have cloned out the piece of grass going diagonal across the birds breast, but I chose to leave that in.
