Photo taken in the backyard. The subject I believe is a "song sparrow" , the sun was not at a perfect angle but I was surprised with the result. Photo taken with the use of a tripod and a remote shutter release. Manual focus was used, I seem to get better results this way, my guess is less time for the camera not having to auto focus.....The tripod is a manfroto with a pistol grip, much quicker to find subject and compose image.

This is my last post for a time, taking a little break.
Thank you for your support and comments

Excellent Image. We will miss you when you are taking a break, now when I hear this sparrow I will think of you :D

From the net a little description of this little creature and it's musical talents:

The song sparrow's song consists of a combination of repeated notes, quickly passing isolated notes, and trills. The songs are very crisp, clear, and precise, making them easily distinguishable by human ears. A particular song is determined not only by pitch and rhythm but also by the timbre of the trills. Although one bird will know many songs - as many as 20 different tunes with as many as 1,000 improvised variations on the basic theme[citation needed] -, unlike thrushes, the song sparrow usually repeats the same song many times before switching to a different song.

WOW!
Excellente netteté et détails dans cette capture.
Bien vu
Pierre

PS: 2 mois sans poster une photo et tu repars????? Bon repos :-)

Wow! Bravo Paul! Superbe, quelle belle photo de cet oiseau! Tres nette et tous les details y sont. Tres belle lumiere.

Tu sais tres bien te servir de ton equipement!

J'espere que tout va bien pour toi, moi je me sens tres paresseuse, je crois que l'hiver m'a epuise et la pluie recente ne fait rien pour nous aider trop trop, rhume par-dessus rhume.

A bientot, Yan :)

Hi!
Nice picture, love the light behind the bird, and the detail of his wings!

The diagonal branch is great. The eye contact in the shade has a mysterious mood. Very very crisp. Bravo. Karin

Hi Paul !
this is an absolute delight.
The diagonal branch adds a well deserved stunning finish :-))
Best regards, Daniel
