Description Okay I was told it is an American Tree Sparrow (Spizella arborea)

The little sparrow should be the last one of my winter birds (:

Enjoy !

edit 12-18-07 some of my winter birds from last year are getting a redo , this is one of them !

The detail is perfect. I have never seen as pretty a sparrow, and back in Missouri we had loads of them.

I know what you're up to. You're trying to lull the red bird into complacency thinking you've given up and are just going to post redos of last years.. Bwahahahahah I'm on to you!

It's color just pops out against the gray background.

Great photo! I quite like the composition of this piece. The contrasting colours of the bird's feathers are beautiful.
But also, I was wondering if you'd let me post a rendition of it that I'd like to do. It'll be done in Prismacolor pencils on black cardstock. If I get your permission, of course I'll credit the original image to you and link back to your page.

I hope you like it! You are a great photographer! I modelled several of my songgryphons of your photographs. I'll let you know when I upload the others.

Thats funny , nice job Next time do me the favor and ask first before you use them. I do not mind people drawing them, sometimes they want them as stock and I really do not allow that. But you are fine with drawing them

You're right, I should have asked you first! Sorry about that. I was just too excited about my new songgryphon series. I'll do better next time! Thanks for allowing me to draw them. I'll let you know when I upload the others!
