Beats a carpenter bee any day

I spent several hours out on our deck yesterday afternoon watching for birds, but all I saw were a lot of carpenter bees, so I’m posting this sparrow from a few months ago.

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by Pbase are decidedly unsharp.

The surprise tulip, posted earlier:

Nikon Z 7 ,Nikkor AF-S 300/4E PF ED VR with FTZ adapter
1/800s f/5.6 at 300.0mm iso160 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

Nice perched sparrow shot excellent with the clear unobstructed background.
Sharpness on the money and nice catchlight on the eye.
