The path I take through the Nature Preserve has bird houses every 100 yards or so. They are empty in the Winter and early Spring. Not so now. This little bird was guarding her house. <http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/LeonardT/Birds/HouseGuard.jpg.html> http://tinyurl.com/2yp86o I find the Tree Sparrow is not shy. This one let me get to within 8 feet or so. This is a full frame photo, no cropping. With a 100mm lens. <http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/LeonardT/Birds/HouseGuard2.jpg.html> http://tinyurl.com/2frcxa After the bird flew off, I was circled by 3 or 4 birds who flew very close to me. On flew to within 3 feet. Obviously protecting the nest. I didn't hang around. I hope you enjoy them. Len _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
