Ann, your comments make it for me! Yes, Dan's ID (thanks) is correct and I should have made that change.

Jack - I think you nailed that one and clearly Dan nailed the ID. I was certain "sparrow" but couldn't remember "who". Really difficult to get those little guys to hold still but I don't think the lack of detail in the breast feathers matters that much because the composition and colors ares so appealing and the bird is showing his key identifiable markings nicely. ann On 11/21/2014 09:13, Daniel J.
