Excellent, David.  I like the lines of the fence and the Golden Crowned Sparrow is very well done.

The BG sets this sparrow off very nicely, good eye to find this scene.  Good sharpness.  Might just be my monitor but seems like there is a slight magenta cast.  Thanks for sharing.

Our goldens have just returned, with their unique song.
Nice pose here, and the bent wire adds a lot of interest.
Congrats on the WP!
