we calls 'em ENGLISH sparrows  over here.. they are frequent visitors to the fire escape outside my window.  They hang with the pigeons.  I'm surprised to hear Rick ask who he is - as they frequent his neighborhood as well.  Now I suspect he will find them everywhere.. :-)

Very nice Collin! I’m impressed with the sharpness after the cropping, and the DOF is used very well.

What sort of bird is it?

Wanted to go to my favorite city park to shoot today because, as so rarely 
happens on a central Ohio winter day, the sun came out. I parked at the first 
open trail and there was this bunch of fat birds working to survive the winter. 
This crop is about 1/9 the original. It’s just a square out of the center.

I shot about 30 images but too many had bush branches in the way.

A cardinal pair came by for a visit but they were too skittish when I started 
to move with the camera.

K-1, F\* 300/4.5

Next time I’ll remember the polarizing filter. But even so this isn’t too bad.

Ann San wanted to go to this park many years ago but wasn’t able to stop in 
Columbus. I used to shoot a lot here. It’s area is > 1 section, so not too much 
different area than Central Park. We just have statues, hawkers, or hookers.
