Excellent capture, Allen, with great color and detail, and nice bokeh.

Really nice sharp shot with a good background. Too bad he didn't turn around so the stick didn't cover up his breast.

Nice detail and colors in the feathering and very nice BG. Great perch, just wish for more of the sparrow.

Nice, Allen. These skulkers are hard to get in the open. Excellent detail and a nice head turn.

Really good feather detail and superb reproduction of all the tonal intricacies of this sparrow. Saw a few of these this year and they are attractive birds.
