Not what I had hoped

While working a set up from the comforts of my living room, this American Tree Sparrow came over to see what the Cardinals were flying over for. Unfortunately, it would only sit on the tripod, not the perch I had set up.


Nikon D300 w/500mm f/4
1/125sec f/11 ISO 800
Tripod, Living Room Photo Blind (My House)Shot through a closed window.

Thanks for looking.

Isn't that always the way that it works out? Too funny! :jump:

Funny photo Joel, the frustrations of doing avian photography! Just hang some foliage over the tripod head and go with it next time. And by the way, lovely in every other respect, sharp, good head turn and interesting background. :smile:
