For my post I am sharing some Sparrow's I have seen during various birding outings.. One bird (photos are from my archives) was a special Sparrow not usually seen in Maryland the Harris's Sparrow.
Above is a Dark-eyed Junco, White-throated Sparrow and the Fox Sparrow
This shot shows the dark head of the Harris's Sparrow on the ground behind the Fox Sparrow. And along with the others I mentioned above.
One of my New Year goals.. I am trying to arranged my blog and labels showing all my life birds seen at different times of course..So, I may be sharing some archived birds on more recent post.
Above are the White-throated Sparrow, Mourning Dove, Fox Sparrow, Harris's Sparrow, Dark-eyed Junco and a Robin.
I hope you enjoyed seeing these pretty sparrows and birds. I hope everyone has a safe and happy New Year's.
