Bashful Savannah Sparrow

[Geoffrey Montagu]

Captured this recently arrived Savannah Sparrow a couple of days ago at the same grassland area I was seeing all the Bobolinks. C&C welcome.

D500, 500mm PF + 1.4 TC, 1/500s, f/8.0, Handheld, ISO 2500.

Removed a couple of small distracting offshoots from the main bramble in cs6.

A lovely looking Sparrow, I wish the beak wasn't overlapped by the perch. Nice BG and thorny perch.

I like everything except the beak intersecting with the branch. Nice BG.
I am guessing you must have one with the beak clear of the branch?

Yes, that bill hidden behind the perch is unfortunate. Neat perch (albeit noisy), and BG. I like the visual play between thorns and claws.

[Bill Dix]

Beautiful colors from our local grassland. (BG definitely needs some NR.) It is too bad he hid his beak behind the rose stem.

Thanks everyone. Noise noted.
