RonnF Senior Member  More info | May 03, 2006 08:19 | #10 Great shots, Gary. The White-crowned is a favorite of mine. Love to hear their song. Especially in the morning after a rain. My favorite is image #3. Looks like the birds are loving those sunflower seeds!

The crown and throat of the white-crowned and white-throated are as white as they can be. You've captured them beautifully. #2 is priceless. It would be nice to have wider DoF to include the white-throated but i understand the light condition didn't allow that. Fee

shows up today. A great little sparrow and I got a few shots through a window (open) tripod and late cloudy PM ( just before 6). Hopefully he sticks around long enough for some sunshine shots.
Ron in regards to the sunflower seeds...these ground feeders never go to the feeders but will go underneath them
