Earlier this month I had an opportunity to take a few fall Song Sparrow photos while way up in Box Elder County<\/span><\/a> in northern Utah. I photographed the sparrow in between sagebrush bushes which gave the edges of my photos a dreamy, veiled quality.<\/p>\n

The light wasn’t the best on the sparrow but I spotted the sparrow while I was photographing a dark morph Red-tailed Hawk that I had found earlier in the morning who was in better light. I did not have the option of moving to photograph the sparrow where the light angle would have been nicer.<\/p>\n

Still, I liked what I saw through my viewfinder and when I got home and viewed the images I took of this Song Sparrow l liked them even more.<\/p>\n

I always take photos for myself and when I like them I share them which is why this Song Sparrow is gracing the pages of my website this morning. I know that because this bird is a sparrow my stats will drop like a lead anchor today. Sparrows just don’t attract as many views on my site as more charismatic birds such as hawks, owls, or even hummingbirds do.<\/p>\n

But I have to be true to who I am and what I am passionate about and I am passionate about all<\/em> wild birds. Even the less appreciated species.<\/p>\n

That is who I am.<\/p>\n

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