Chipping Sparrow

[Geoffrey Montagu]

A few mornings ago this bird that has been a nemesis of mine showed up in my backyard. Needless to say it was a great treat. There was more than one, no mistaking that distinctive high pitched trill, so I decided to wait for better light. A lifer for me. C&C welcome.

Lovely bird and calling pose. The darker part of the perch is hurting this image.

[David Cowling]

The bird is lovely and stands out well against the nice smooth background. Nice that you have managed to capture it calling. The dark part of the perch has already been mentioned.

The dark part of the branch was a bit distracting. Thanks all and here is a repost.
