This is not normally how I would crop a photograph that I plan on sharing in my Field Notes. Since my photographs are very high in resolution, I will usually crop in quite a bit closer so that you can see more of the details in the subject. And for Instagram posts, I will crop even closer since that platform is mainly viewed on mobile phones.
However, this is an example of how I might crop a photo that I plan on printing at a larger size. At that large size, the White Crowned Sparrow would still be printed larger than its actual size and still retain sharp detail. And this crop provides a lot more texture and interest with the small Oak Tree leaves scattered throughout. It may be hard for some to imagine but this would look really cool hanging on your wall. That goes for most if not all my photographs. ☺︎

This is a female White Crowned Sparrow which can be distinguished from a male as it doesn’t actually have a white crown.
This is called sexual dimorphism: where the different sexes of the same species look a little different. To give a counter example: Bald Eagles are not sexually dimorphic by coloring. You may not be able to tell if a Bald Eagle is male or female because they look very similar, only their size is different. But many birds are sexually dimorphic and the females and males are distinct in coloring and/or patterns.

An early morning photo of a White Crowned Sparrow in Northern California. Males have the distinct white crown of this species and females have a light beige crown with brown markings. Do you see the female in the photograph?
