House Sparrow

I took a picture of one of these not too long ago, but this is the first with the new lens and since he was posing so nicely for me.
I'd like to wish all my Project friends a Merry and peaceful Christmas!

Merry Christmas to you!

Beautifully focused and cropped to get him to fill the frame!

[Sally Ings]

He does look a tad grumpy. Super details

[Dyan Stevens]

Super nice shot. Looking forward to more shots with your new lens.

Terrific shot, details

[Shepherdman's Wife]

Lovely shot. Which lens did you buy? I see it is taken at 600mm. Is it one of the 150-600 mm lens? How do you like it? Did you take this hand held? Can you tell I'm thinking of getting one? Happy Christmas Skip

@shepherdmanswife - Thank you Chantal! Yes it is a Tamron 150-600mm G2. I compared it to the Sigma 150-600mm and the Canon 100-400mm. I chose the Tamron because it is 2 pounds lighter than the Sigma and almost half the price of the Canon. I did take this hand held. Merry Christmas to you as well!

[Margaret Brown]

A new lens! Woo hoo! Love all the detail in the feathers! Merry Christmas, Skip!

It appears he has a slightly belligerent expression... :) Very nice capture.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Great shot- looks like the new lens was the perfect investment!

Simply gorgeous. Your focus, the detail, just awesome.
