Happy to see a nice male White-throated Sparrow in our yard today.

Plaintive call...
 

One of my top songbirds, especially as the summer cools into autumn:

The second song choice is most like what we hear in the East.

Airedale how do you get such great pictures?

Thank you for the compliment. I have decent equipment, experience and an inordinate level of patience. Also, the experience portion of that equation has taught me that there is no substitute for simply getting as close as you can to your subject.

Here is one more of the same bird.

Ok then, how close would you be in these last 2 pics?

Between 10 to 12 feet.
