It's a good thing the leaves haven't sprouted yet otherwise I would have had no chance of spotting this small sparrow amidst the undergrowth. Convincing it to sit still long enough to get a well-focused shot was a whole other task I was lucky to get two shots in a row before Mr. 'I think I'll sit over there now' moved to a new perch every few seconds. I might have to start bribing the little buggers or set out glue traps to get some decent photos.

Enjoy and your comments welcomed.

It blends well Wendell.
I think he shot Cock Robin.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.

Crystal clear view of the sparrow and kudo's to you for being able to get the shot. You must have a wealth of patience to go with your talents.

Everyone has a photographic memory. Some just don't have any film.

Nice capture of the camouflage effect as he blends in so well with the tree. Well done Wendell.

The thing that goes the farthest, towards making life worthwhile, it costs the least and does the most, is just a pleasant smile.

Excellent focus Wendell - I might have cropped a bit of the tree branches for more spotlight on the sparrow.

The bird looks great, and so do all the twisting and turning branches. Very nice work.
