Took some patience to get one that wasn't buried in the grass...

Stunning shot of a beautiful bird that's very difficult to photograph.

Absolute knockout shot, Terry -- neat pose, so sharp, and great setting.

Only downside, it reminds me how a couple of other bird nuts and I managed to dip on this bird when we took a trip to North Dakota a few years back.

What a great shot of a difficult subject!

The setting is superb. I'd rather the one twig weren't crossing the leg/foot, but that's pretty minor here.

Beautiful shot, Terry! I've been out a couple of times to the sparrow patch, but the good ol' Dakota wind has been a problem everytime.
