I want to share with you a couple of shots taken over the holidays. Unfortunately weather didn't cooperate most of the time, but I've managed to get some keepers.

I'm not sure about the ID, but I believe it is a White-Throated Sparrow:

I really like the second shot. Had to look up the White-Throated Sparrow. I didn't realize there were 2 variations, the white stripe and the tan stripe.

These are two very good shots and you certainly ID it correctly. Gorgeous little Sparrow.

Super shot # 2, but that high key # 1 has something to it also - like them both, for different reasons.

No doubt, those pics are of a White-throated Sparrow. Both of yours are the White stripe variety. I regularly have both around here. But the White stripe is more common to me.

Pretty shots Greg, I miss the little guys in the winter... my ridge is a large nesting area for them.
