Hoping I don't get West Nile!

Excellent - much better than anything I ever got at Brig. Lots of good rarities in NJ right now that I'd be chasing if I was still back there.

Sharon: This is very nice. Love the pose and the look back. Very nice background as well. Nicely captured.

Smart looking sparrow I rarely see here anymore, very nice Sharon.
Great BG, color, detail, and I especially like that look-back pose

What's not to like - this a fabulous shot Sharon. I especially like the color palette with the rufus colors against that beautiful blue BG.

Everybody else have pretty much covered what I think. Really a great shot!
