We hear them in our yard, too. Very nicely captured. I especially like to color palette.

Excellent singing pose and detail, David.  A good way to wake up in the morning.

The perch, pose, background and framing all look great, David.  The feather detail in the larger view is wonderful.  These birds are fun to listen to and to watch.  His colors look a bit orange to me.

Great shot of this little bird in mid-song. Great detail in the bird, and a nice blurred background to offset it. No nits here.

David, an excellent shot through your window. You must keep them well washed and with visitors like this in the BY I can see why.

It was through an open (washed) window.  And to answer Mark about the orange glow; some of our Song Sparrows migrate from Southern California Orange groves....
