Female Card with sparrow
While watching this Female Cardinal waiting for a pose the sparrow flew up and joined her on the branch. It looked to me like she gave it a "Hey what gives" look. They may be friends but neither one stayed long, not sure what spooked them probably one of the Blue Jays that think they are boss. anyway I liked the look and thought I'd share.
Olympus E510 Sigma 50-500 @ 840mmeq 1/100 6.3 iso400 cropped a bit to reposition birds.
