Well...I can honestly say that I've never heard of, much less seen a Rock Wren before. That's pretty cool!

You got some fantastic shots there, Juan.

Great set Juan, congrats on the Rock Wren and I believe you are right on the Song Sparrow.

Your Dunlin is actually a Willet. And I believe that your sparrow is a Rufous-crowned Sparrow. Very nice captures.

Song Sparrows will never have that bright, white eye-ring. Check out a Rufous-crowned Sparrow in a field guide or online.

Great captures. My favorite is the kestrel. I just like raptors.

Lovely shots, and congratulations on the lifer! We got 4 lifers too on our trip to the Oregon coast last Saturday... quite exciting!

If I don't get the shots I want with the gear I have, the only optics I need to examine is the mirror on the bathroom wall. The root cause will be there.
