Nice shot.

I know I've been having an impossible time capturing a yellow tailed finch in the wild. Speedy, twitchy little buggers.

Nice ones Troy. :thumb Sparrow identification is tricky, lots of very similar colors with subtle differences. I'd guess it's a common song sparrow? :dunno

The best match I can find is a Chipping Sparrow. Both shots are nice.
