The story behind the photograph
I'm not yet a big "birder" as far as photography goes, though I have started to snap a few. Seems the older I get the more I'm tuned into the different songs of different birds as I spend time outdoors. This little guy was on my property one sunny day, a fun capture, and an amazing reminder of the mighty diversity of our wildlife.”

A small streaked brown sparrow grips the knotted junction of a woven wire fence, feathers lifted slightly by the air, with nothing behind it but clean blue sky. Low sunlight rakes across the bird from the side, picking out the pale eye-ring and the warm edges of each wing feather while leaving the shaded underside in soft shadow. Dry grass seed heads rise blurred into the lower frame, catching the same light at the end of the season.
