I had a little time on this beautiful day practicing my bird photography skills. I wanted to see if I could get some action shots in addition to sparrows just sitting there looking cute.

While it’s true that I mostly captured various sparrows, I got blurry images of others.











I did get to enjoy the Great Egret and Great Blue Heron. I like that they stand still a lot.










And you can always count on Mockingbirds to pose. They are the best practice birds.





Okay, you’ve waited long enough! Here are House Sparrows, Harris’s Sparrows, White-crowned Sparrows, and bonus Goldfinch, in non-breeding sparrow-like colors.
















I tried to get a Downy Woodpecker, but it was a blob. Still, not too bad from my back yard! And Merlin heard a Short-eared Owl, too.
I have actual thoughts to share tomorrow. Today was just birds.
