    Hi Folks:

    it was the House Sparrow's turn to preen on the dead Cholla branch. We have 2 new winter visitors, the Verdin, and the Orange Crowned Warbler, however, they are just flitting around and are hard to catch.

    CC's Welcome and always appreciated.

    Between these two, I'd pick the first one.

    Gus I like the look of the first one but the crop form the second Not sure what you did in PS to the second? Seems darker and over sharpened. Excellent pose and setting.

    Harold's suggestions, Thanks eagle eye (Bet you find a lot of golf balls :))

    Remove QM marks, removed with cloning at 53% opacity on this repost and NR.
