Photographed in the warm glow of early morning light at Wolf Lake Fish Hatchery in Mattawan, Michigan, this image captures a Song Sparrow on the ground, giving a curious sideways glance. Its feathers are softly illuminated by the sun, and its alert expression adds a touch of charm to this peaceful moment.
Set against the subtle textures of gravel and grass, the sparrow’s posture and personality come through in a way that feels both quiet and full of life. It’s the kind of small, spontaneous encounter that makes Michigan’s natural areas so special.
