A pair of Clay-colored Sparrows take a pause high in a tree. A unique member of the Sparrow family they nest in bushes near the ground but the young leave the nest early and are fed by the adults until they learn to fly. Instead of the usual song they make a pleasant series of buzzing sounds.

Stunning capture Heather. The soft pale green background simply beautiful. The sparrows and branch they sit on stand out perfectly. Love this shot, nicely composed and captured.

Agree with Clifford. That background really illuminate the scene and it makes the two little birds show off very nicely. On a dead branch with no leafs is just perfect.
