Fluidr / Little Golden-crowned Sparrow by Sultan Sultani

They are known as Golden-crowned sparrows. It is a rainy day. Make sure your camera and lens are weather sealed or that your lens has a gasket. After 3pm it gets darker in winter, I shoot before 3pm because after that I must use higher ISO especially with birds because I need at least 1/250 sec. When the hills get green, I will start landscape photography. I don’t need new gear next year because I have 3 prime lenses for bird photography. My favorite lens for birds is 500mm and it is not heavy for me. This range is good for birds that are close distance. Have a great day!
