Hi Bob,
Delightful capture of this sparrow graciously accepting your hand out. Amazing how big they look when puffed up against the elements. Thanks Bob and Happy New Year.

Hello Bob,
You know by now that I'm desperately looking for light and colour at the moment and I found this pretty little Sparrow a bit dark so I did a workshop and found a wonderful little 'birdie'! He looks lovely and well-fed!
Keep watching them, their behaviour is interesting!
TFS and best wishes, Ulla

Hello Bob,
Nice one of a Fox Sparrow, a very variable bird but this one is typical of the species. The contrast with the BG made the exposure difficult but I think Ulla has helped to bring out the colours, which made the ID easier for me, but whether the sparrow should be brightened up is I guess a matter of taste.
Anyway this may have been the same individual that you caught keeping away from the cold.
Well done and best wishes for 2008,
Ivan

Hi Bob,
This is a nice little fellow that you present us! This little one has food to have a comfortable winter :)! This is a close composition, a little dark I agree but Ulla's WS did work great! I wish you many other visitors like this :)

Hi Bob,

Iy seems the sparrow is feeling the cold and resting before eating. The point of view is showing a lot of details and colors of the feathers. The photographer did capture well his subject.

Hi Bob,

Come on down - I have dozens of birds at my feeder all day long. Sometimes I think I'll go broke on bird seed. Even here oftentimes the birds are puffed up like this sparrow. Good shot for thru the window - I do that too.

Hello Bob

I call them birdies and my software doesn't pick it up as a spelling error,SO IT MUST BE OK!.
A lovely POV for this shot.The plumage detail is very good with lovely colours and feather definition.
I love the tiny snowflakes.He certainly is surrounded by a smorgasboard of seeds.
TFS

Rob


Best wishes and Happy Hunting in 2008!
