While we're on Sparrows, here's another that I don't get often in New Jersey. In fact it has been a nemesis bird for years. You wouldn't think I'd have to go to Texas to find one, but this one was bathing in a pool at Laguna Seca Ranch in S. Texas, late one afternoon in November.
D500, Sigma 150-600 @ 600mm; ISO 2500, 1/400s @ f/7.1 manual.
PS. Posted at Sparrow-size, 1200 px. I don't know if the recent change has affected the way images are appearing, but this 1200 px image on BPN looks smaller and less sharp than the same jpeg (saved for web) on my screen prior to posting (11.3 inches here vs. 12.6 inches at 100% on my screen.) I've noticed this on a few others.
