I Hit A Jackpot Today

Went to a lake today that isn't a part of the state system and got some really nice (I think) photos.

First up is a White-crowned Sparrow

According to range maps, this area is on the edge of the range for both Eastern and Spotted Towhees. Interestingly I have seen and photographed both at this lake.; October 27, 2007 at 7:14 PM
Kathie Brown said...: Nice photos! I love white-crowned sparrows, they're so easy to identify! I'm still learning the more difficult ones. I've just moved to AZ and am having to learn all kinds of new birds! As for towhees, I've had canyon towhees in my yard and green-tailed towhees in the desert around me. I've also seen Abert's towhees and spotted towhees here. Nice Blog!; January 2, 2008 at 5:40 PM
