Default Little Bird.

I was sitting downtown on Sunday waiting for a friend to come meet me for icecream on her break and this little fellow was sitting on the fence post catching some sun. I'm not too sure what sort of bird he is, but he was cooperative with me.

He is a common house sparrow Travis and you have made a fine capture of him. Lucky you had the camera with you. Very nice.

Jake.

Thanks for identifying the little guy for me Jake! And thank you to all who commented on my shot of the day. I like to keep my camera with me whenever I know I am going to have some spare time on my hands.
