Apr 16, 2010 03:38 | #1 For nearly a week now we've had several Harris's Sparrows hanging around in our backyard. They're a new bird on the "life list" for me. Also a White-crowned Sparrow decided to show up for a while. The first shot was taken a day before the others. Thanks for looking. Brad

Thanks Stan, Your comments are appreciated. trmwf wrote in post #10005464 I like the last one best also. Love your driftwood perch, looks similar to mine! Thanks a lot Mike for the comments, We're always looking for a good piece of driftwood. DanThoman wrote in post #10005615 Nice series. It's #4 for me. Love the background (bokeh) on the first but the bird looks a little oof on my monitor. Thanks Dan, I tried to recover the photo because of the BG. The bird was really underexposed before the fix. I agree that the shot isn't as sharp as it could be. dbriz wrote in post #10005719 Excellent sparrow shots... that Harris's Sparrow is one I never see up here... congrats on the "life list" find. I got really excited the other day when I saw the Lapland Longspur from a distance... I thought for a minute it was a Harris's. Nice work Brad... I am hoping a few WC fly in soon. db Much appreciated Dave, I was surprised to the these Harris's. I noticed a different bird call coming from the tree and soon they came down to get a drink from the bird bath. Levina de Ruijter wrote in post #10006206 Congrats on the find, Brad. Lovely shots, particularly the last one is great. Some beautiful backgrounds in that series as well. Thanks a lot Levina, I really hoped these would come out because of the nice BG. The BG is our neighbor's bushes as they're blooming right now. ajosteve wrote in post #10006457 Never heard of this sparrow, it's very cute. Nice captures Brad! Many thanks Steve. They look cute but they were king of the bird bath. Chasing away all the other sparrows. snowyowl13 wrote in post #10006483 Well done on a new bird. Nice shots. I've seen quite a few Harris's Sparrows but only in the very far north. Much appreciated Dan. I didn't expect to ever see one of these birds but they showed up in the backyard. Snydremark wrote in post #10006540 I've not heard of this one before, very nice shots! I particularly like #3 and its somewhat quizzical appearance.  Thanks for the comments Eric. That bird was watching the other sparrow get their drink first. Ed Harp wrote in post #10006619 Brad, Nice shots. Checked out our smugmug site. Great stuff. I left a comment there, you might want to check it out. What Camera/lens used on these? Thanks Ed Thanks Ed, It's very much appreciated and saw your comment on my SmugMug page. chubri777 wrote in post #10006642 Awsome shots Brad It's much appreciated Chuck. jgrussell wrote in post #10008832 Great shots, Brad!
