Hello Jane,
A wonderful capture of the White-crowned Sparrow sharply taken in a fine composition in the upper branches of this leguminous tree. The lighting is great and the blue sky is a treat to see now that we in Sweden are starting the dark time of the year.
TFS this beauty,
Ivan

Hi neighbor... :)

Wonderfully composed and detailed capture Jane. The darker bright blue sky is fantastic here. Even the tree branches are perfectly presented here adding just the right props for your main subject. Very well done... and TFS.

Dear Jane,

Your blue skies call out to me ...even as i look at the thumbnail of the upload, iknow this is Jane's:)....

A wonderful capture...the bird is produced with fine clarity and sharpness. For a sparrow, this one has a more leaner frame and length.I have n'vr seen this sparrows before.
Very well done.
TFS & Cheers

P.S:When you say first of the season, do you mean they stay around in winters?

You sure know how to compose your bird shots Jane,
Another beauty, captured on what looks like a lovely sunny day.
What type of tree is it perched in? It reminds me of some type of Locust. Very informative notes!! TFS...

Hello Jane,
I am sure glad they know were to go for the winter. Great image of this sparrow in a different habitat than I'm used to seeing them in. Maybe next winter I will follow them down.
