There is a good chance I have the ID wrong - what are peoples thoughts?
Anyway, assuming it is a White-Throated Sparrow it's a rather dapper looking bird, and I was pleased to see a sparrow with such colourful plumage - I was brought up with much less flamboyant sparrows. This bird is common in bushy patches and in mixed woodlands - which is exactly the type of habits I saw it in!
Sorry this post is a wee bit short - I have a lot on today!
Hope all is well with everyone!

ReplyDeletePretty sure your ID is correct, Stewart... and, perhaps, an indication of how the seasons are changing. I know that some Canadian palls have noted the American Robin has been staying with them, which is unusual... Lovely shots! YAM xx
The markings on this sparrow are stunning up close!
ReplyDeleteI took this shot of an eagle in Northern California. There are no bald eagles in Hawaii. Thanks for hosting. I love the Sparrow! Nice renderings. Thank you Aloha
ReplyDeleteThere are always a few overwintering White-throated Sparrows in southern Ontario, Stewart. I saw one a few days ago at Riverside Park in Cambridge. Snowy Owl is relatively easy to find this winter.
ReplyDeleteThe White-throated Sparrows migrate in the fall from PEI. Love seeing them in the spring again. These are great photos!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful captures, Stewart.
