Spring Song Sparrow

Gallery: AvianPosted March 24, 2013157 views4 comments

I took this photo late this morning. Song sparrows are starting to set up breeding territories and this one was caught resting between bouts of song. I lost some sharpness due to having to use a high iso to handle the low light conditions of this cloudy day. K10d, Av +.3ev, 1/320sec at f5, ISO=640, 300mm f4 DA*, Fill Flash=-2.5ev. Thank you for looking.................Jim
