    Default Henslows Sparrow at last light

    I was happy to be able to finally photograph this elusive (for me) sparrow. The area I was in was perfect for this species as there were many of them singing their song.

    Henslows sparrow (Ammodramus henslowii)

    Nikon D300 ~ Nikon 200-400mm F/4 with 1.4x Nikon TC on tripod.
    ISO 400 ~ F/8

    Mike:

    Great calling pose, interesting perch, like the balance of the bird and the seed pods.

    Very soft BG. I almost wish the green extended down enough to completely back the bird to help him pop from the very similar brown BG.

    Cheers

    Great calling pose and a lovely BG . Love the balance in the image here . +1 on the Bg having a bit more green to help the bird 'POP' !!

    This is such a terrific image, Mike. Perch, bg, light, pose - this one is top notch.

    Beautiful. Love the pose and colours. Nice perch and background, although I can see what Randy means about the green in it.
