Grasshopper Sparrow

Grasshopper Sparrow

I set out with two photographic targets on this morning: Lazuli Bunting and Grasshopper Sparrow. I failed miserably on the first but succeeded wildly on the second, this frame one of my best to this point in 2020. Shooting down a hillside, I was able to position the bird against a distant coniferous hillside, that dark backdrop really making this pale subject crack against it. Can't beat songbirds belting out their spring best!
