I thought you might like to see something besides a woodpecker, the sparrows have been so nervous, and hard to get a shot of. My other half has spotted a couple of hawks lately, so that is very understandable.

I really do enjoy shooting the birds.

Another shot through a closed window, I sure don't want to pay more to the utitlity company if I don't have too! :)

Used the same comob of lens, and converter.

Thank you in advance for commenting.

I knew this was a sparrow, but had one of those moments I guess. Lol!

Tigs♥ =^..^=

Tis the little culprit that shot Cock Robin. Nice and clear shot Tigz. With the grandsons, our windows get smudged. :)

Looks like the sparrows that frequent my bird set-up, but mostly they just hide out in my lilac trees. I like the lighting on this little fella. Great detail / DOF too. Superbly captured, Sandi.

I thought I was having one of those moments when you think your eyesight is going haywire. I had to go back just to see if I was seeing correctly. LOL. Very nice shot of the Sparrow, Sandi. Maybe it would be better if, in the winter, you invite them in to pose for you. LOL.

A cutie. Do you have to add a couple of stops to your f-stop when you use the converter? My birds don't come anymore and I can't figure out why. Maybe hawk is the answer.

I can see why they don't want to stick around when there are hawks near by. But you did get a great shot of this little guy. Nicely done.

A fantastic bird photo of this little sparrow! Enjoy the colours, softness and sharpness. The light is lovely too in this photo. One small little point.. a bit out of the center so the sparrow has more space in the direction the bird is looking at. What do you think?.. my good friend! Mich

I was a little surprised of how the swallows look in the US, very much like our sparrows..;-)(joking). I do that a lot, mean one name to say and out comes something totaly different..lol.
