Those last two pics show the reddish edges on the feathers rather well, but other than that, I'd be totally stumped if it were up to me to ID them. Oh, sparrows.; February 10, 2009 at 9:10 AM
Bevson said...: Wow. Fabulous shots!!! Sparverius, see the yellow lores. That is classic in Savannahs.; February 13, 2009 at 7:26 AM
Mary C said...: I do believe that would be a lifer for me if I should see one (and be able to ID it!). Thanks for sharing.; February 14, 2009 at 8:12 PM
