\"AdultAdult White-crowned Sparrow perched in rabbitbrush in Northern Utah – Nikon D500, f7.1, 1\/3200, ISO 640, Nikkor 500mm VR with 1.4x TC, natural light

Sometimes the colors of in a photo I have taken are what pleases me and draws me in even if my subject is small in the frame, in this case my subject was an adult White-crowned Sparrow.<\/p>\n

The bright yellows of the blooming rabbitbrush in the background along with the almost inquisitive pose of the sparrow are enough to keep me looking at this photo.<\/p>\n

I have taken plenty of other White-crowned Sparrow photos where the birds fill the frame, in this case the colors of the background are what are more dominant.<\/p>\n

I don’t see many White-crowned Sparrows<\/span><\/a> during the summer months but about this time of the year they start to move down to the valleys from higher elevations so I should be seeing more of them soon.<\/p>\n

I photographed this sparrow last September in Box Elder County on the last full day of summer. Can’t wait to photograph these sparrows again.<\/p>\n

Life is<\/em> good.<\/p>\n
