Found this little guy this morning in a lovely little grassland.

Thanks for looking and critiques appreciated.

Great singing pose you captured of this little beauty. The large version is a must see. I like the way the grass seed heads frame the bird. Very nice composition May!

May,

This is a real beauty,something other than barbed wire may have been preferable but given the age of it I do not find it at all distracting :toast:

A beauty, May. The grass and green background perfectly complement the subject.

I think these little ones are about the same size as a grasshopper sparrow if I;m not mistaken and hard to find as a result....so good job even locating him May. I really like the surrounding grass and the rusty wire adds even more interest to it.
