Two for One

Sometimes photographers get lucky. I spotted this male Northern Cardinal perched in the evergreens behind our home. I took several shots as the bird turned and presented different poses.

When I uploaded the photos to my laptop, I had no idea that the White-throated Sparrow had popped out of the dense foliage. It wasn’t in any of the other photos. I cropped the photo because the sparrow is barely in the frame.

So, when I thought I was capturing an image of one bird, I ended up with two.
