I think I have a palm warbler and Savannah sparrow here, but I could be wrong.  HOSTED PHOTO please log in to view hosted photos in full size.

Love the pose and look in the last.Thank you, Levina. I'd be happier if I were getting shots as sharp as yours. cfcRebel wrote in post #13848984 You got that right Stan!

Even with my guide, I have trouble with pine warblers and palm warblers, and then there are all the others. And so many sparrows. Stan (See my gallery at http://www.pbase.com/sparker1

Every time I think I have a good capture they move as I hit the shutter... I like to push buttons on thingies that take pictures. Sometimes I like to push other buttons, too.
