Great job on catching this House Sparrow with the Cicada in flight, Eddie. Detail in both looks really good. I do tend to root for almost anything against House Sparrows, but I suspect the Cicadas would get grossly out of hand without the birds to keep the numbers down.
Wonderful catch with the Cicada and the bird’s face in wonderful focus!
