Here's my little buddy the chipping sparrow who nested in one of my fir trees this past spring.  She only got 2 babies out of the deal, because a cowbird pirated 2 of her eggs, which I pitched when I found them.

Liam, how did you get the outer edge of the sparrow light when the background is black?

[vancouver]

I actually love the variety of the sparrows in North America.  Great shots everyone!

The background was already pretty dark, and increasing shadows in post-processing helped a lot.
