Song Sparrow (Melospiza melodia)

Place: Gilbert Water Ranch, AZ
Date: March 10, 2016, 8:29 am
Equipment: Nikon D7200, Nikkor AF-S 300/2.8 & TC20E III (2x), G1325, RRS BH-55, Sidekick
Exposure: Aperture priority matrix metered, ISO 800, 1/2500th @ f/8
Raw, PS CC 2015 on Mac, 59% of full frame

From the same visit as last week’s post (Vermilion Flycatcher). This sparrow made a quick visit to a small artificial stream, not giving me enough time to get a lower shooting position.

Honest critiques requested; all comments appreciated. Please base critical comments on the larger version if possible.

Good techs and the bird pops off the background nicely. I think it would benefit from a lower angle.

AZ Song Sparows are sure paler than the Idaho population.
