I was able to escape for a few hours today to enjoy nature. I had high hopes of photographing some early arriving water fowl due to the warm temps this weekend but unfortunately I didn't find much. Instead I found lots of canada geese, a few hawks, and this curious American tree sparrow. I have several poses, but this one was my favorite. They are common in Illinois during the winter months and I love their wing markings. My son loves their mohawk!
