Could be. Hard to tell size from the photo(which is quite good by the way). The reason I knew what it was right away was that it was the first bird I ever photographed.
Yes. It's a Song Sparrow.
Wow! What a superb photo. The depth, the detail and the subject itself all contribute to making this a breathtaking photo. I would love to see this arae.
Any way you look at it it is a breathtakingly beautiful shot! Congrats.
You caught a cute little Eastern Amberwing there Erv. Nice shot.
Definitely (Libellula incesta) a mature Slaty female.

Mahalo nui loa for the excellent shot. Welcome to the UHH. You will find great people and information here. Coming to Kauai to hunt dragonflies next month.

Thanks for the post. This is why I joined the Hogs. Very useful information.
Doc
Thanks rlaugh. I appreciate the comment.
Thanks for looking Jerry.
I've only been on this site a few weeks but I find that I've learned something every day. I've only been at this photography thing a short while but wish I had found the Hogs sooner. It would have shortened the learning curve for me. I love looking at other peoples work and I thought I'd throw some of mine out and see where they land. I always enjoy help with making my pictures better. Thanks.

I can see why it's a favorite place to photograph. You've captured it well. The lighting is exquisite. (I also love the hairy Highland Coo)

Beautiful shot! So glad that you didn't pass it up. Thanks
Doc
Hauntingly beautiful shot.

As Linda said: "Funny you should mention addicted" - I sit and watch these raptor live-cams and wonder where the last hour went!
