From a blind, digiscoped. These birds ran around like small wind-up toys, displaying with tails in the air.

In Salamanca, sparrows are quite smart, this fella was jumping under the tables grabbing food that feel from them... they get quite fat, this one could barely fly...
This a 50% crop of the original shot, i used an experimental sharpening filter, quite good to improve sharpness and pump feathers detail without those halos forming...
This photo of Richard (Dick) Fears and his cousin, Robert Sharp was taken on the Sharp farm near Trenton, MIssouri in about 1949.
Richard was the son of (Lois) Beth Wylde and Robert, the son of her older sister, Oleta.
Update: A birder friend suggests this is a Sharp-shinned Hawk, which eats birds. At first I thought it was a juvenile peregrine falcon, because those have been seen in the neighbourhood too, but it's not.
Photo taken by Jeremy Dec. 10, 2009 right across the street from our place, in the oak trees ringing the Strathcona school field in Vancouver (NW corner of Heatley and Keefer Streets).
At first I thought it was one of our peregrine falcons. There's an overpopulation of aggressive squirrels in our neighbourhood, which I hope the peregrine falcons and/or hawks are taking care of. In the summer while watching a falcon (an adult peregine, easy to identify) I noticed an oblivious crow in an adjacent tree. When it finally caught sight of the falcon it did a cartoon double take, made a strangulated choking sound and nearly fell off its branch. The falcon was watching a squirrel and couldn't have cared less, but the crow went off and loudly warned the whole neighbourhood.

Just some sharpness testing of the Canon EF 70-300mm IS USM, shooting at 70mm.
I'm quite surprised by the sharpness at f/4, I would have thought it would be a bit softer there... on the other hand, at f/20 and over, it gets quite horrible - lucky I don't shoot very often at those apertures. :)
