20100920 097 Swamp Sparrow 2 SERIES.jpg

Shirley's Bay

I had originally posted these four images as Lincoln's Sparrows. They are in fact Swamp Sparrows. There was a mix of Swamp, Song and Lincoln's Sparrows flying about. According to the literature, Swamp and Lincoln's Sparrows are closely related and that they are the closest living relatives of the Song Sparrow. I got images of all three Sparrows on the day these images were taken. The Lincoln's being a first for me.

Four images/views of a Swamp Sparrow.

Shirley's Bay really likes you this year! This is a big time prize! Too bad I didn't know you guys were out there. I would have gone that way instead of down to Mud Lake, which was not a good decision.

Yes.. great!! V
Nora van Beek20-Sep-2010 23:46
These are all so great, but I especially like the third one down.

Beautiful shots with a feel of Fall in the air. Sparrows are so lovely and under appreciated. Great work! V
