House Sparrows on a cold fall day
White-throated Sparrow
The are back to nest in the wild rose hedge… a hawk was after them, it looks like a few survived.
Savannah Sparrow #191
This is one I thought I had a long time ago, however it was a mistaken ID… so I found the real deal. These ones prefer to dart away on the ground when spotted.
White-crowned Sparrow #190
Here is one that I though I had but it turns out I didn’t. This is one of the most studied species and much of the birding community knowledge of bird song and development is based on these birds. iBird.
At home in the yard.
Fox Sparrow
The largest of the sparrows, this one was a nice reddish brown with a lovely song.
Chipping Sparrow looking at my focus beam?
I am sure some birds detect the focus beam on my camera, he didn’t even look my way until the focus was prompted… then he looked straight at the camera.
Song Sparrow #177 – finally a new bird!
Known for it’s song, the song sparrow is hard to imitate even for the Mocking Birds … found just about everywhere except in front of my camera… finally have a photo of one!
Tree Sparrow flocks are arriving
House Sparrows
This was a busy little flock in downtown Toronto, the seemed infatuated with some loose feathers, I’m not sure why as it in October!
Chipping Sparrow #173
Most likely the most common sparrow in North America, they are small and delicate, blending into all kinds of habitats, so well that we don’t even notice them. 
House Sparrow
This house sparrow calls Home Depot home. The sparrows in Collingwood have learned how to activate the beam which opens the sliding doors for them to go in and out at will, pretty smart little birds. This one was sitting on a model shed chirping so loudly it’s echo was deafening in the loading area.
Baird’s Sparrow “photo bomber”
This little guy photo bombed a Snipe’s photo op… I don’t think the Snipe minded one bit, he was going with invisible the look of the day, not so much the Sparrow!
