What type of bird is that? I'm guessing a type of finch by the beak. It's colours blend really well with the surroundings.

It's a House Sparow.

It's far more exotic than the house sparrows in my garden (in Ireland). A different species where you're based?

[Fast Glass]

It should be the same species, I'm in Washington state. Mabye the very saturated colors make it more exotic looking.

Nate, I didn't think you could improve on your last shot. But you did anyway.That is the best Mandarin shot I have seen, period! There is nothing to critique about it, it's amazing.

Hi Nate:


Your photos you have posted here are VERY IMPRESSIVE, to me anyway. Outstanding quality. Where are you located?
