Got this one a few days ago, adjacent to a marsh in a nicely turning willow tree. North of Lassen NP. D800e, 300f4, 1.4tc, 1/1600, F10, ISO 640. Comments and criticism are highly regarded.

Well caught in a difficult location. The pose is good, the detail excellent. The leaf crossing the lower chest is a "can't be helped" thing, but not terribly significant.

I love the pose amnd head turn, Jim. Nice to get it so mush in the clear with that sweet willow bg. It really provides context for this species.

I think the sparrow is tack sharp. Nice pose. Normal environment for sparrows and the colors of the vegetation allow the bird to stand out.
