Grasshopper Sparrow

This is the same bird and bush as in the previous shot, but I stepped a few feet to my right to use a distant coniferous hillside in this case (the other featured a dry hillside). I'm glad his feet were peeking out; had they and the legs been totally obscured I would have tossed the frame. As it, it's a perfect representation of the scrubby perches this bird prefers.
