Here is another capture from south Texas. We don't get this species in Colorado. I like the sutler color of the wing feathers on them.

Excellent capture. Great details. The water drop really adds a lot to this image for me. Nicely captured.

Very nice Kurt. I like the nice low perspective, the water droplet and the background. Oh yes, and the bird is great too.

Kurt, this is one of those images where the bird looks just alive on my screen in the larger version. Beautiful detail and light.

All my Olive Sparrow shots are in the tree tops. Well done finding one down low. Excellent techs and terrific detail. Really nice, Kurt.

Superb everything here, Kurt. The low angle really plays well for that stream of droplets.
