Great detail and color in this little sparrow, Kitty. I keep trying, but they are so quick to fly away. He must be used to the city traffic and people! #4204735

This sparrow does look mad--but only in the thumbnail. Once I open and view the great detail of the markings, I think otherwise. Love the way the background colors echo his (her??) coloring. #4213250

He does look a little tired and cranky doesn't he? Maybe he is old and tattered?

One of his little back feathers has a piece missing,too. It's likely a hard little life being a tiny sparrow. I feed them big TIME all winter to so they can keep their strength up.

I like this shot a lot Kitty and am having fun looking through your gallery. -Laura #5740238
