White-throated Sparrow

WHITE-THROATED SPARROW, GREEN, MICHIGAN, MAY 21, 2013

Pentax K-5
Pentax F* 300 f4.5 with Kenko 1.5x teleconverter (equiv. 450mm)
1/180 sec. f8 with on-board flash
ISO 1600

I had never before encountered this species of sparrow, but the bird books say it is not uncommon in brushy areas in or near forests. The yellow eyebrows make it look like Andy Rooney after a makeover with Breck. As were the previous three photographs, this was shot handheld through a window.
