I have lots of good Tree Sparrow photos taken near feeders and almost always on tree branches. But yesterday I decided to "get out of town" and search the fields of a nearby organic farm. I was pleased to discover a nice flock of these birds working the weed patches with gusto. The low angle of the sun was working to keep the lighting warm. The main challenge was to freeze the beak action as they were feeding feverishly, chowing constantly on the seeds. From a composition stand point, the big question was whether or not to keep the weed branch above the head .....
All C&C welcome!
