After nine days of not posting about birds I felt the need to get back into it even though I’m still in Florida and have more important things on my mind. I’m beginning to realize that for me blogging about birds is therapeutic. This is actually the post I was working on when I received the call at 5:28 AM\u00a0about Shannon’s accident (I saved\u00a0the preliminary\u00a0post\u00a0as a draft so I was able to retrieve it while in Florida).<\/p>\n

For me an image with significant weaknesses can sometimes be saved by an interesting or hard to get pose. The second image below is an example.<\/p>\n

I photographed this Savannah Sparrow a couple of weeks ago at Farmington. I’m not particularly happy with the cluttered setting or the shadow on the tail but I enjoyed watching the bird through my lens and popped off a few shots anyway. It’s a cute little sparrow and it’s happy with its surroundings so I probably\u00a0should be too.<\/p>\n

When it took off I got lucky and caught\u00a0a pose that I’m seldom able to photograph for two reasons:<\/p>\n
