Chipping Sparrow

Gallery: AvianPosted September 6, 2013185 views5 comments

This sparrow was migrating through during the spring. Taken with Canon 7D, using 100-400 IS lens at 340mm, ISO 400, F5.6, 1/250 sec., -1 exposure.

Please let me know if I'm wrong on the ID. Learning, but have a long way to go on identifying birds not normally seen in my area.

Thanks in advance for your comments and suggestions.

A sassy little bird which you have captured very well! I am no expert, but I do believe you are correct in the ID. Thanks for sharing.

Great alert pose you captured of handsome chipping sparrow Patricia. I really like the raised top notch.
