Song Sparrow scratching an itch on his perch in the Montezuma National Wildlife Refuge.
Last year, I shared the song of the Song Sparrow. This year I not only enjoyed the Song Sparrow’s singing but a real life moment. As the saying goes, when you get an itch, scratch it. 🙂
to my personal journal through my viewfinder. A place where I leave the world behind and try to find the spirit of what I am seeing.

Not your typical bird photo. I like it, did you use flash?

No flash as I wanted to keep the golden light of the morning’s Sun. I did use flash in the afternoon which worked great to bring out the colors of these beautiful birds.

This is beautiful! It kinda reminds me of vintage postcards… the colors, I think. 🙂

Miss Sadie and the Cowboy can relate. Cheery little guy! – and I love the tendrils twining about his perch.

Sure, Scott. You wouldn’t want to stop a good song just to scratch an itch would you?

He looks so precarious perched on the end of that little branch. Lovely shot, Scott…

Thanks, Julie. Oh, they keep a good grip on their perches. Though I did have one in the viewfinder that suddenly disappeared. He popped right back up. 🙂

I really like this shot. You can imagine the bird telling his buddy a story and stopping for a scratch in the middle of his story. Hey, did you submit this one to Shrew for storytelling?

No, I submitted a different photo which will tell a very interesting story.
