Title: Great sparrow shots
Post by: lovemypt on July 18, 2011, 06:14:17 PM

Hi Denis

 Great shots of your sparrows, I am looking forward to seeing more. I have a number of sparrow shots from this and last year but having a hard time to properly id, it would be good to have something to compare to and from someone who has a better understanding of the id's. The bird books are great but lean towards more of a overlook at the entire eastern region. It would be great to see what others have found in the same local area.

Very nice!  The first hay has been cut near us in Muskoka!  I still hear Savannahs calling last weekend.  However no bobolinks and no meadowlarks.  I'm wondering if the earlier haying season is affecting these birds?  Nice shot Denis!  Cheers Terry

I'd say these are more than just 'decent shots'!
