This Chipping Sparrow is one of the birds we will be looking
for on Wednesday’s Bird Walk here in Elkton. Mainly a summer resident in
Douglas County, it is normally seen from April through September, and in fact I
took this photo last Friday April 5. They are not as numerous or as well-known
as the Song Sparrow or House Sparrow, but striking in appearance with an
equally unusual song. I know my readership
is far flung, but if by chance you are in close proximity consider yourself invited
to attend. The walk starts at 10:00AM every
Friday at the Tyson City Park in downtown Elkton.
That's a great picture. I snapped a song sparrow here in Eugene last week and was very proud that I was able to figure out what it was LOL! Now I have a picture of what I think is a yellow rumped warbler. I'm a total newcomer to identifying birds.
ReplyDeleteWay to go Donna. Photos are the best way to allow a person the leisure to make a correct identification.
