A few from this week.

Spent a few hours sitting quietly in a small pop-up blind on the edge of our property. I've been admiring these little guys for the past few days. I don't recall seeing them in previous years but perhaps wasn't paying much attention to the birds visiting or living in the underbrush surrounding our lot. I believe they are Lark Sparrows. They stay near the underbrush and do all their foraging at ground level. Trying out my new-to-me 300mm F4 IS.

Good for you, but they are white-crowned sparrows. We get them here once in a while, but not always.

Nice captures; looks like the lens is working fine It's funny to see what we see when we start looking for things; many of the smaller birds around here were "just birds" to me for so long

Thanks, I was relying on my IBird app for id. I probably didn't search hard enough.

Thanks,

Yep... I found some yellow warblers last summer and looking for their return again this summer. Have had some feral cats hanging around through the winter. They've taken some of the younger rabbits and are constantly stalking the songbirds.
