Certainly not an uncommon bird, but one that we rarely see on oour property, so I was happy to have it visit the pond at my blind. The water drops are from the mister for the ferns.

7Dii, Sigma 150-600 C @ 435 mm, tripod with ball head and Sidekick, F/8, 1/250, iso 2500, aperture priority, pattern metering, -1 EV. Processed in LR & PS CC. Full frame. Taken at 8:58 am under cloudy skies.

Your comments and critiques are always appreciated.

Thanks,

Nice - the large version shows fine detail and great water drops.
Very Nice pose, a bit of reflection, and some habitat -

The image is sharp, nice light and color, and I like the contrast of the green in the image. As mentioned the water drops add much to the image.

Wow, Dennis, this is a fantastic shot. Those water drops on the bird just really makes this image pop. Great detail and color.

Hi Dennis,

Nothing wrong with a song sparrow. I like the droplets and even though it is a busy comp, it works very well. Well done............................Jim
