Cool day-48 F, steady 20+ MPH wind from the South-Soutwest. Bright overcast. Birds were all very quiet.
While glassing the hz I noted this crow walking by looking at me.
After taking some crow shots I moved to another location out of the terrible wind. I saw some small birds scurrying around in the underbrush and just out of the thicket onto the grass.
Both the White-crowned and Golden-crowned Sparrows were in a loose flock feeding. They flit between the thicket and the grass. I sat for about 20 minutes before the little guys started coming out.

Minimal cropping-mostly compositional crops as the birds were really close to me-sometimes inside of the minimum focusing distance of 10 feet!

D500, 500pF except for #3, #4, and #10. Those images were taken with my new 300pF attached to my D850! The 300pF seems to need good light and a shutter speed above 320! Takes great images though! The 300pF on my D850 sans battery grip is a very light weight combo suitable as a walk around set!
