Song Sparrow

The last couple of times I went out to Swan Lake I was hoping to get some photos of Marsh Wrens. These perky little birds are especially active and visible in the spring but not, it seems, quite yet. Instead I've been seeing many Song Sparrows posing beautifully on the cat-tail stalks, a symphony of brown and gold. So here's a Song Sparrow (above) with a promise of Marsh Wrens to come.
