Song Sparrow

[Ric Grupe]

After checking with some birders I know on a Canadian website, I have now properly identified this little fellow as a Song Sparrow and not a Swamp Sparrow as I previously thought.

This shot has very little processing...just a little overall contrast and sharpening of the bird. It's soft, but I liked the appearance as shot and kept my sometimes over editing grubby hands off!
