I love that top image. Very nice!
Your drawing of the Sparrow’s eye on the far right, is what I love the most.
You are in the Zone-O with this one!
For me, this sparrow is all about the lore. I love that sensation when I look through binoculars at a mature one and see that telltale splash of lore.
Your sparrow looks reflective, which is interesting, because it’s a matter
less about the bird and more about how I imagine sparrows might be.
Hi, I expect you saw the excellent American tree sparrow posted by the Cornell Lab on Dec 20 re their 2011 Great Backyard Bird Count photo contest. If I could draw more than stickmen (I can’t) I’d draw this one! ATB rh
These are so nice. Thanks for posting.
