A Field Sparrow uses a tree branch as a perch and as a sun shade on a sunny fall morning
in Sharon Woods Metro Park near Columbus, Ohio. The Sparrow landed on the branch,
then fidgeted for about a minute until it positioned the branch between itself and the sun.
It stayed on the branch for a few minutes before leaving. Two other shots of Field Sparrows
taken the same weekend are included below. Additional bird images are in my Birds and Animals gallery.
