    From the looks of the top fence rail in the first few pics, I'd say that its a pretty popular spot :D

    Yes, they love my fence! They gather there, hop along the edge and just perch there all the time. I just wish they would use my beautiful trees as well. :D

    Good shots, those little birds are very hard to capture well.

    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!"

    Thanks. The more I look at the last shot, I am positive now that it is a different type of sparrow as well, not the white crowned variety.

    My backyard has many great perches but for some reason the birds love the chain link fence. headscratch.gif
