Dusky Seaside Sparrow

 * Reason:This is an excellent photograph of an elusive and very small bird, particularly in relation to the standards of its era (probably the 70s or early 80s, when one only had 35 frames before having to change film, and focus stacking was not a thing) and a good scan from what was likely either positive or negative film (I suspect positive). This is the best image of this bird I've seen and it is implausible that a better one exists and impossible for one to be created.
