Song Sparrow

Boyce, Virginia

Really liked the posed perch of this sparrow; just SW of Lake Arnold area.
Had a decision to make between Song and Lincoln's (?)
Very SLOW late-afternoon visit to Blandy; very little bird activity on this windy 68 degree day.

Great pose and setting for this little delight. The background light must have been challenging but you've handled it very well.

well after looking at many picture of both, the side markings tell me a song sparrow
