Very nice, Allen. I like all three with the last, I think, being my favorite.

Very nice series. Last one is also my favorite.
Always nice to get a singing sparrow.

Oh! I’m really liking the first image! The angular perch is so unusual. It works a treat against the bird’s rotund form You’ve captured the bird in a great singing pose. And, you couldn’t get a much better colour palette.

The other images are lovely as well.

No. 1 for me, too. She (?) seems to be inviting a companion to occupy that extra perch.

Hi Allen
These are nice, but the first photograph could be entered into any Birding Book.

Sparrows are my favorite songbirds because they are mainly brown, but are very photogenic. First one is my favorite with that perfect BG with the subject posed perfectly. I have no nits for you and like this one as presented…Jim
