I visited Kissena Park here in New York City wanting to do some small bird photography. I did not find many visiting the spots they usually feed and as I was leaving I checked one last spot and there were a bunch of White-throated sparrows there. I spent a while dealing with strong light or deep shadows.
Comments and suggestions welcome,
Morris

Great images Morris. These sparrows are fun to catch and they are quite patient in my experience.
I like your use of the light, particularly in the first three photos.
Cheers,
Joachim

Thank you Joachim,
They were grabbing seeds off some grass and then landing to eat

Cute little guy, #2 reminds me of "Stripe" from Gremlins. Nice set Morris.
