Good morning Kristine,
May I say that I've enjoyed all of your most recent pictures.
Now I've put you in my 99 44/100 (Ivory soap pure) ranks.

Thank you for all of your delightful pictures.

May I share an oldie, taken 1972 with a old 35mm pentax.
Do you recognize this one? Had never heard of BIF way back then.
The nest was in the tree and I've got a pic of the eggs somewhere.

Anyone know for certain?

That is actually a Lincoln's sparrow.

They are very similar to the song sparrows, but have more buff-colouring on the chest and thinner stripes.

Good shot of it too. Cloning out the branch behind its head will make this even better.

Well, thanks gotrocks. And yes, I think that's like one of those herons I shoot. Unfortunately, I won't be getting any more of those other than a couple I haven't posted yet from last week because some jealous sad person saw me taking pictures out there and went to the GM. My boss then told me I can't shoot out there anymore. People really suck sometimes.

Alex... thanks for the ID and below is the shot minus the branch.

Wow Alex, great eye for detail!

the scissor tailed fly was too easy to ID
