With most bird species, the males are most attractive. That’s not true of our common house sparrow, as the ladies are quite lovely, while the coloring and marking of the males is garish and borderline ugly. Here’s a pretty girl in my backyard. I think this might have the best detail of any of my bird shots. K-1 in crop mode, with the DA F 150-450 and the DA 1.4X converter. This is close to full frame. Shot from about 20 feet away off a tripod, while sipping on some good scotch whiskey.
