Out East, I have not had much luck getting ideal shots of this species. This one was photographed along the Oregon coast and they seemed to be more approachable. K5 IIs 300 mm f4 (1/400 sec at f7.1, ISO 640), Levels, Crop for Comp, +Brightness......................Jim

Looks like you had the opportunity to get some Oregon sunshine (overcast light conditions) when you shot this image of the White Crowned Sparrow. Nice pine perch and good detail and color separation on the Sparrow.

Excellent detail, Jim. It looks like this was a fairly short tree or you had a nice vantage point. Around here, all my shots are straight up at their bellies. Nice dof and a good pose.

The overcast sky came to help here I guess, Jim ! I shot many in bright California two years ago, and like your light much better! Cheers, Hans

Yes, we train them well here! laugh

Fine, sharp shot of this w-c, and a very nice perch.
Well-done!
