This female House Sparrow seems unusually FAT to me for some reason. I just CAN'T figure out why.

That little sparrow probably thinks she has died & gone to "birdie heaven".
I agree with Tina---your surgery is going to be enjoyed by us all.

REALLY GOOD!, Dodge. You caught the hint of a gleem in the Finches eye. That is what REALLY adds UMPH! to any bird photo. The experts tell me to center the focus on the eye whenever possible. Doing that makes the rest of the bird stand out. GREAT WORK!
I tweaked your Goldfinch in Photoshop so that youcould see a little more detail. Here ya go!

The blue was an artifact of Photoshop where I tweaked Dodge's photo. The blue SHOULD be black.

Thorn runs away and hides, ashamed about his bad tweaking and his rude behavior in trying to tweak such a good photo in the first plce.

If you want a pretty blue and yellow bird, try getting a picture of a Blue-Winged Warbler next
spring during
spring Migration. It's a REALLY neat bird. Google one up..

Good heaven............Best of both worlds......
Thorn is living up to his name.........let him tweek if he is so meek..
Then we can compare and determine if we want to tweek or not tweek.
I prefer the real bird.LOL Mine.
Thorn ...Put them up for a vote...........Tweek or not to tweek?????????????
