Juicy Lunch

A sparrow from Wisconsin a few years ago. Not sure what species of sparrow this is. I liked the background and the caterpillar in this one. Processed with Lightroom, Photoshop and Lightzone. Comments and critiques welcome.

Nice one, Jerry. The caterpillar is a definite plus,and the pose would be nice without it. Well done.

Certainly well done. The caterpillar certainly adds to it. A little more room on the right and less on the left would make it just about perfect.

Beautiful capture, Jerry. Love that he has his lunch hanging out of his mouth. Nice perch and excellent background.

Wow Jerry!!! The worm looks bigger than the bird almost. I love these predator prey shots. Nice detail, light, setting, all is good. Sorry, not sure what type it is.

Looks like a song sparrow. There are only a few sparrows with dark spots on their chests.
Nice pose, great prey and head-turn, and clear BG.
Nice catch!

Excellent pose and perch. Superb background. This is probably a Song Sparrow although it is quite a bit brighter than the ones in my area for the most part. I've never seen one with a bug in its mouth; they seem to prefer the suet in my feeders.
