\"Lincoln's<\/a>Lincoln’s Sparrow perched on a fence post – Nikon D200, f7.1, 1\/1000, ISO 500, Nikkor 200-400mm VR with 1.4x TC at 357mm, natural light<\/span><\/p>\n

This Lincoln’s Sparrow<\/span><\/a> was photographed last month at Red Rock Lakes National Wildlife Refuge in Montana. The spring green leaves in the distant background sure don’t compete with the subtle beauty of this sparrow.<\/p>\n

Sparrows seem to be overlooked often as subjects, I’ve heard people call them Little Brown Birds (LBB) or Little Brown Jobs (LBJ). I try to photograph them whenever I can get close though.<\/p>\n

Life is good.<\/p>\n
