    Kildale, you are a true bird man and I'm sure that sparrow is posing for you.

    The new camera is certainly doing the job for you isn't it? What sharp close-ups you can get with it. :-D

    Great shot. This Fox Sparrow looks quite different from our Fox Sparrow we have here in Wisconsin during the summertime. Are they different species of Fox sparrows I wonder? ;)

    They vary quite a lot in different regions. This species is one of our most variable birds, with four main groups that can range from foxy red to gray to dark brown.
