Song Sparrow Singing

[Krishna Prasad kotti]

I made this image in Bear River Migratory Refuge.
I have been wanting to go to Refuge early morning. Most of my trips so far have been to reach mid-day and then spend the evening photographing birds.
During this trip, I found that morning lighting is better in Bear River Refuge than late evening light due to the position on mountains relative to Auto Car loop.

This image was made from Car with Bean Bag.
I have made multiple trips and found some good shots with Song Sparrows. I will post them soon.
