Le Conte's Sparrow

Struble Lake, Chester County
Pennsylvania

Some not very good shots of a very difficult bird to clearly see let alone photograph. I was happy though since he was a lifer and a beautiful one at that! Thanks to Jeff and Amy for directing me to the right spot and to Anne for helping to encourage him out into the open. A true skulking sparrow!

Such a cute little bugger! Great DOF and lighting.
Sounds like this was a very lucky shot for you!

I'd be happy with a photo like yours, of this lovely but elusive bird.

Great image none the less. Sometimes we have to take what they give us. Well done. V
