Some people say they all look alike. What do ya think? :D

Before i started birding, i thought there was only one type of sparrow in this world. Now i know better.
I think they are beautiful little birds. The differences make it worth chasing after them. So far i have collected only 5 sparrow species. Will keep pursuing. Anyone care to send some White-crowned and White-throated over? LOL...

C/C welcome.

Savannah Sparrow (uncropped)
500mm, f7.1, 1/1250s, ISO400, EC-0.33, 10mm ext tube, no flash

Great shots. But, they all look alike to me.

LOL! I know what you mean. But i guarantee you they are not cousins.

Not sure what this one is???

Very nice captures and pictures are well taken.

I'm sure the subtle differences are important to many people, but for me they are sparrows.

Excellent series Fee, I love the Savannah.

Beautiful and lovely series Fee. The differences are very subtle and on a first look, it's really hard to tell which is which.

Nice series Fee and the Lincoln Sparrow is one I would dearly love to photograph...and I need a better Swamp Sparrow capture as well.....etc...Nice work on these with the Lincolns being my favourites

Beautiful shots, very well composed and sharp. I have grown to appreciate sparrows and they are both challenging and beautiful. The Sav. and Lincoln's sparrow shots are my favorite. I'll make you a deal, I'll send some white crowned and white-throated sparrows if you send me some Painted Buntings and Scissor-tailed Flycatchers!

Fee, very nice series. We have a lot here, too. The white crowned sparrow is the only one that stands out at first glance. All the others are sort of just "LBJ'S"--you know, little brown jobbies!

Great series, love #5 what sparrow i dont know
Super shots of a much underated falcon food

I'll one-up ngannet and throw in a Snow Bunting...

Great shots with the second Savannah and the first Lincoln's being my favorites here!

Lovely series Fee. I'm sure that I've seen more species than I recognised.

Go to the head of the class. These take the sparrow cake !

Thanks for looking and commenting Mitch, Gardengirl, hTr, Paul, Reyno, Gary, ngannet, Mark, Philc123, Dan, Stephen, Mike. Glad you like them.
Ngannet, Dan, that sounds like a fair deal. White-crowned, White-throated, Snow Bunting for Scissor-tailed and Painted bunting. I'll throw in an Indigo Bunting if you can get me Gary's Snowy owl too.
