Not a hybrid, but just pics of these beautiful sparrows. They have been very tough for me to photograph because they are always on the ground. But I waited until I got them perched on a branch :)

Nice shots Jo! I have never seen the Golden Crowned Sparrow. I'll have to look them up and see if they come around my neck of the woods. The Song Sparrows I get, and your images are really good. Love the nice BG's in each. :)

Very nice series! #5 is my favourite. And you're right - they are usually on the ground. My sparrow shots all have not-so-lovely gravel backgrounds. Well done!

What a GREAT sparrow collection you have here, Jodelak! They are beautiful! The ones here are preparing to head back north very soon.

Thanks Craig, I am not sure but I have another pic of the GC and it looks like it is a hybrid of GC and WC. Another reason I suspect this is they (GC and WC) are always together :)

Thanks Vivien, nothing wrong with the gravel shots, it's just I have plenty of those already :)

Thanks Dave, this is actually the smaller of the song sparrows, the other 2 are much bigger and I think the other one is ready to give birth :)
