Song Sparrow: York County, Maine, USA, August 2024 — I was taking photos of a Snow Egret in the tidal creek when I heard a russel in the beach rose right at my feet. It was a Song Sparrow, this Song Sparrow, and it came out onto the gravel just below the road foraging, totally unconcerned with my close presence. Sony a6700 with the Tamron 50-400 Di iii VC VXD zoom at 600mm equivalent. Program mode with my bird and wildlife modifications. ISO 640 @ f6.3 @ 1/1000th. (Experimenting with the “faster” setting under Min SS ISO Auto 🙂 Processed in Photomator.
