Hi everybody. I have not been here in a long time . Hope everyone is well.
Saw this bird at the feeder today. never seen one like it before. So I stalked it & then looked it up....I'm fairly certain it is a Fox Sparrow. The book doesn't really show them as supposed to be around here so I'm guessing its just passing through & stopped for some chow.

    yup, looks like a foxie. they're the biggest of the sparrows I think and have the cutest habit of hopping backwards to forage for food. Lovely shots...creamy detail if that makes any sense.

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"
