Hi All,
Well I will be disappearing for a while, work is calling and this shift is going to be long and hard so I don't think I will be around. Lucy is hauling the trailer out so I don't have that 1.25 hour commute at each end of the work day so that will be great.
Todays posting is a White-crowned Sparrow literally singing in the rain. See you all soon and stay well.
Rick

Bonjour Rick, what a nice picture. I think you are great at birds' photography. It is perfectly shot with amazing details and beautiful composition with the branches. The colours are subtle, as always in your pictures, yet realistic and so natural. I wish you a nice shift of work and glad Lucy is helping you out for the commuting. It is exhausting to travel like that every day. Thank you for the great posting, hope to hear from you soon!

Hi Rick,

Rain? I've forgotten what that is. I love these White Crowned Sparrows - come to think of it I haven't seen one for a while. Great pose - he reminds me of an opera singer belting out an aria. Nice details - wonderful eye, good natural colors and a nice setting. I'll miss you. Be good!

Bellissimo momento di cattura, ottimi POV e composizione con l'uccellino che "lancia" il suo canto teritoriale, molto buona la nitidezza, molto belli i colori e BG. Grazie e complimenti. Ciao Maurizio

Hello Rick,
Well done...
Well composed and good lighting..

Hello Rick

A lovely shot of this handsome sparrow.
Good timing to catch it in mid-sing.
The details are sharp with very good focus.
Good use of lighting on a cloudy day.

Hi Rick.
What an impressive scene. I like tree branch patter, smoothness of the BG and nice image of singing bird so much. Excellent timing and composition of the image. Despite the poor light condition you managed to get well exposed, delicately coloured image. My best regards and TFS.

Hello Rick,
Beautiful capture of the white crowned sparrow.I love these little birds and have a special bonding with them as i have family almost living right behind in my backyard.
This one has been caught nicely with beak open and in fine clarity .The colours are beautiful and i see that depsite overcst conditions you managed a fine shot.

Very well done.
TFS & cheers

hello Rick

Hi Rick
Your White Crowned Sparrow is singing up a storm I see. They have such a nice song to listen to. I like how you captured him with his beak open. Interesting to see how the grey in his feathers matches the grey in the bark....good camouflage. Overall a really nice portrait.
TFS Janice

Hello Rick,

I like very much the composition. Excellent POV, DOF and sharpness. Light and colours are great too. This little bird looks very cute.
Cheers,
Mariki
