Few birders, myself included, would give a House Sparrow more than a quick glance.
Many would scorn them, being an introduced species in the United States.
Yet any bird in good light, posed nicely, with a nice background, is a candidate for a photograph! And it's actually a handsome bird, such as this male in its breeding plumage.
Photographed last Sunday at Famosa Slough in San Diego.
