Savannah Sparrow.

I was looking for bluebird and was playing their song from the capr, when ono of this birds came close to investigate.
Thanks for looking.

Lovely image Karl, bird on a nice perch open bill and tack sharp focus , perfect.

There is a spot on the top edge 90 degrees to the bird head which is bit different , may be it is different or may be a left over of some masking not sure.

However i love the pose you have captured of this bird.

Thanks Vishal, letting me know. I decided to clone out the extention of the perch (a little dead tree) as it looked like coming right out of the head. I'll fix it right now.

Awkward perch, fabulous bird theyre quite rare arent they?, top details. Well done

Great photo. I like how the bird is isolated from the background. I have a hard time getting them not covered by leaves! Very nice and sharp. I like that the bird is singing.

Hi Karl, A nice capture of a singing Savannah sparrow, I love the BG, exposure, and the sharpness of most of the bird...the head looks a bit oversharpened on my monitor, and I find the perch a bit awkward as well. I would have liked to see even a couple of toes from the other leg.


Cheers!

P.S. couldn't figure out the species...but it helps to look at the title!! :e3

Nice composition and excellent exposure control and sharpness.

Extremely beautiful image ,Karl.
What a wonderful colors of bird and contrast BG colors???
Love the pose with open beak,colors ,sharpness and composition with wonderful IQ.
