This beautifully colored White-throated Sparrow provided several poses in late afternoon light near the Marsh in Magog Quebec.

Good-looking specimen, good light and BG. I wish the bird were angled toward you.

I'd prefer he grass not show below the log, therefore a crop from down there would be my preference. I also wish for a better head angle. Good looking individual, with a nice clean plumage. I like the habitat depicted, but may tone down the light grass strand running behind the bill.
