White-throated sparrow

Early this morning it rained and the air was chilly, so I postponed my walk in the park until late morning. The rain stopped and the clouds cleared a little, but the light never did improve much unfortunately, so this is the best I could do...kind of disappointing after the brilliant blue sky and wonderful light we had yesterday. This little sparrow and some of his cohorts were perfectly happy to pose for me, but the Baltimore orioles and rose breasted grosbeaks were elusive. Maybe tomorrow.

You can see the feather details better in large.
