November 16th, 2007 at 9:19 pmamazing sparrow pictures! Was going through my RSS feeds that have not posting anything in a while and found you have moved! I have made the updates and now I can enjoy your photos again!

Lovely shots. I love sparrows. They are so simple yet so precious.
November 16th, 2007 at 10:31 pmBeautiful shots! My photo hunt is up too! :)
November 16th, 2007 at 10:32 pmGreat choice. I can relate to you. I’m breeding African Love birds and Finches. Have a happy weekend!
November 17th, 2007 at 2:25 amWow, beautiful photos! Happy weekend!
November 17th, 2007 at 2:30 amAs always, grateful to you for sharing. Lovely, professional and beautiful.
November 17th, 2007 at 5:41 amLovely pictures, one and all! :)
November 17th, 2007 at 6:11 amGreat shots. I can’t differentiate nor distinguish those sparrows (i mean which is which) ;)
November 17th, 2007 at 9:02 amThat happened to me, too! I went to the Audobon spring count and would begin to yawn when they talked sparrows (I was only along for photos and ignored sparrows). But then I got a couple of sparrow shots and realized I knew nothing and there were so many. There are different seasons and climates and habitats for them. Now I am becoming obsessed with them. I got a ton of sparrow shots in New Haven in October and noticed that different species hang together like they are kin. I have starred this post for future identifications.
November 17th, 2007 at 9:36 amStumbled on your blog via a link exchange, BlogMad I think, and I just love it. Wonderful bird photos…the sparrow comparison is great. I bookmarked you for future visits. Thanks
November 17th, 2007 at 12:33 pmWhat a lovely choice for the theme, beautiful pictures as always…
November 18th, 2007 at 2:58 pm:)
Thank you for all the comments!
November 18th, 2007 at 8:24 pmGreat photos as always, there are some interesting native sparrows out there which most people are not even aware of, all they know are the English and house sparrows.
I must join the photo hunt one of these days, it looks like so much fun!
November 21st, 2007 at 9:56 pmI hate to say it, but your “Lincoln’s Sparrow” is actually a Song Sparrow.
Cheers,

Hmmm, the photo I had up… you may be right. So I changed it to more obviously a Lincoln’s Sparrow. Thanks!
November 23rd, 2007 at 10:10 amI like the detail on this birds plumage. sara from farmingfriends
