Less Is More

I have said this before, but I find the Field Sparrow to be the most curious of the sparrows. They are even a little bold at times. And they are such a small bird .. I guess less really can be more.

Field Sparrow

What a beautiful photo of a Field Sparrow. I love the depth of field in this photo with the deep green. Beautiful.

A Yellow Throat

Funny story: We were hiking near the Stillwater River when we heard a Common Yellowthroat. We looked for a while, but could not locate him.

About a mile later Teresa spotted a bird in the top of a dead tree. I shot a photo and there it was .. another Common Yellowthroat. Maybe it was the same bird .. who knows.

The photo is a little off. It was very cloudy and hard to get a good photo.

Summer Cover

I often wonder how aware the birds are of how much the trees hide them from our view. When we hike we hear so many birds, but we actually photograph a small number of them. I bet we are lucky to get 1% to 3%. Maybe we are not patient enough, but the hiking / photographing passion is not about quanity .. it's abouit the experince and connection with nature.
