Progress to me is the life of this little bird... every breath it takes is important to one this tiny, every day it will double its body weight for a week or more. It amazes me how something so tiny, so underdeveloped, has all the organs and structures it needs in order live.
A 1 day old baby House Sparrow that I am rehabbing right now with a House Sparrow egg that Ive had for years (which I forgot to dust off!) inside a fake nest.
My camera is a cheap piece of crap and will not focus on what I want it to (as in the BIRD and the EGG at the SAME TIME!!). I guess I should consider myself lucky that it focuses at all seeing as how more than 80% of the photos I take with it come out horribly blurry. Ok, Im done complaining now... till next time.

Dang that thing is ugly! The nest looks too perfect in a way, like a woven basket, and seems seriously clean to be a bird's nest. Good composition, with the inclusion of the greenery behind.
The alinement of the bird and the egg really makes this image. You might want to consider a square crop that includes just the in focus portion of the nest. The out of focus portion and the greenery are non-benefical negative space imho. 8
