I'm several days behind with photos and we just got some more snow....another dusting of 2-3".
It seems like I have seen quite a few sparrows in the last week in different locations.
This White-throated Sparrow is at my house digging around for little seeds that he might like.
The back view.
Another front shot.
Saturday I went to the wetlands to see if there was anything happening....not much. However I did see a couple of sparrows
I think this is the Song Sparrow....he didn't want to pose for me.
This one I'm not sure about.....my best guess is a Swamp Sparrow. I've seen one there before and it looks a lot like the photo in the Sibley's guidebook.
Earlier in the week when I was trying out the new lens we went to Blue Grass and there were several sparrows in the cattails. I think it is an American Tree Sparrow.

Considering how many kinds of sparrows there are, I have really only seen 6-7 different kinds in my life. I would like to see more of these cute little birds that haunt the grasses.

White-Throats are a favourite of mine. I also like all the sparrows, but they're hard to recognize. You can try Cornell Labs which compare like birds. Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River.
Hi Mary,
Very nice pictures of the Sparrows. I like the White-throated one espically because of the bright yellow patch by his eye. I really had a good time yesterday shooting the birds in the rare snow we received. They kept me busy all day! (as you can see, I can't type today! Had to delete two comments because my brain said type one word and my fingers typed something else!)
I love White-throated Sparrows. I could hear a few half-heartedly singing when I was out filling the feeders this morn. My guess would be Swamp Sparrow also...and the last one, Tree Sparrow too. I love all the sparrows!
I'm already waiting for the various Sparrows to return to my yard.Lovely pictures.
Blessings,Ruth
The White Throated is here for me now, but just one, and I never seem to get a good picture of that throat. Yours is beautiful.

Those white throated sparrows are little beauties!
Love how well that last picture turned out.
You've shared some wonderful pictures of the sparrows. The last picture shows how well you are learning to use your new lens.
You got some great pictures of the Sparrows, Mary... I haven't seen many this year so far around here... Seems like I have everything else though... ha
Hugs,
Betsy
