Dan, glad you enjoyed the image. I agree that over the shoulder with an eye catchlight is one of the best ways for birds to pose for you. I've only seen these birds in the California deserts. Definitely not an urban or suburban bird.

Thanks Ralph. They are something that you don't see every day. And for a sparrow they are pretty neat looking.
