Chipping Sparrow - Spizella passerina

This bird was VERY busy foraging for food for its fledgling. I took pictures of him/her collecting bugs for its baby and in this photo, it has a bug in its beak. The trees were so dark that all I could get was a silhouette.

Habitat: Coniferous meadow

Christine, you're still not getting this art thing. Let me rephrase it for you:

"After extensive existential pondering, I concluded life to be reductionist: eat or be eaten, and transformed the duality of my vision into the duality of dark and light pixels. Pixels, mere carriers of my profound perspective." Posted 4 years ago

  Perfect, lol. I still tend to think of photos scientifically -- can the organism be identified using the photo. Although, I do love artistic shots and thought this one was kinda cool. Posted 4 years ago

I think this is great.
And if you want to think scientifically about this, this could potentially help someone identify this bird at similar light levels. Posted 4 years ago

  Thanks! And, very good point -- the outline/shape is probably useful. Posted 4 years ago
