Just ONE MORE Sparrow.... I promise! · **1 Like**

I promise not to clutter the forum with any more sparrow photos.... but this one, in the evening light really grabbed my attention.

Thanks, Matt. I highly recommend the DA L 55-300mm ED. I'm sure there are others who can recommend better lenses, but this is the best I have in MY inventory for such work. But, then again, I'm only shooting from a distance of about 12-14 ft. My "hide" is in my dining room and I'm shooting out onto my patio. I clamped some tree limbs onto a small ladder and move them around occasionally to change the "scene."

That first image is quite some shot, well done indeed.

Thanks, Rodney. The more I use it, the more I like it. Heck, it even worked for a moon shot last night! A lot of cropping going on, but still.... it worked!
