Sparrows!

Lark Sparrow

This past fall I've decided to concentrate my birding on sparrows in Florida.  We have three sparrows that are extremely common this time of year: Savannah, Chipping and Swamp Sparrows. I have seen and photographed these more times than I can count. Happily, Eastern Towhees can be found here all year round. But aside from these four, sparrows here can be somewhat of a challenge. Here's my progress so far.  I'm including photos of a couple sparrows (Lark and Bachman's) that I happened to find before this past fall.

Bachman's Sparrow

Clay-colored Sparrow

Nelson's Sparrow

Grasshopper Sparrow

Vesper Sparrow

Le Conte's Sparrow

Lincoln's Sparrow

I see Song Sparrows very infrequently, and I've seen one White-crowned Sparrow and one Saltmarsh Sparrow, but I have no decent photographs of these species yet.  I'm still hoping to find a Fox, Henslow's, Field,White-throated and Seaside Sparrow in Florida. Hopefully they will make their appearances before all the sparrows leave.
