ENGLISH SPARROW (MALE), EVANSTON, ILLINOIS, APRIL 18, 2009
Pentax *ist DS
Sigma 135-400 at 340mm

ISO 400
English sparrows are so common that one wonders why a photographer would be interested, but I like them because they often perch on one place for long seconds, cocking their heads in saucy poses, enabling me to rattle off several shots before they depart. And sometimes I get a good photo. These birds are wonderful subjects for an amateur photographer seeking to polish his wildlife technique. Click on the photo for a slightly larger version.
