This striking little sparrow is always a welcome visitor among the clouds of house sparrows that frequent our feeders. It's common in the West but uncommon in the Midwest, usually seen here while migrating. This photo particularly pleases me because it was taken with an inexpensive consumer zoom lens racked out to its maximum focal length, proving that one does not need to use costly professional kit to get decent bird photos.
