White-crowned Sparrow

This is a juvenile, hence the lack of the white crown.  A very fun bird as the juveniles are quite playful and chase one another around the gardens.  They also take quickly to the bath.  This is one of a group of four that frequent the pool near my blind. 

7Dii, Sigma 150-600 C @ 468 mm, tripod with ballhead and Sidekick, f/8, 1/1000, iso 1600, aperture priority, pattern metering, -1 2/3 EV (set for a chickadee to try to tame that white cheek against a very dark bg).  Processed in LR & PS CC.  Cropped to 14 MP before resizing.  Taken at 9:35 am on July 22nd under cloudy skies.

Your comments and critiques are greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
