The Chipping Sparrow (Spizella passerina) is a slender, fairly long-tailed sparrow with a medium-sized bill that is a bit small for a sparrow. Learning the shape of this classic Spizella sparrow is a key step in mastering sparrow identification.

Belding's savannah sparrow, taken in Bolsa Chica Reserve
There is something about birds singing on barbed wire that always appeals to me, especially now.
The Vesper Sparrows were belting out their beautiful songs all around the open, dry areas around Inveremere.
It is North America's largest sparrow and the only songbird that breeds in Canada and nowhere else in the world. It is Canada's only endemic breeding bird.
Their breeding habitat is the north part of central Canada. In the winter they migrate to the Great Plains of the United States, from southern South Dakota to central Texas.

Wikipedia: The white-crowned sparrow (Zonotrichia leucophrys) is a species of passerine bird native to North America. A medium-sized member of the New World sparrow family, this species is marked by a grey face and black and white streaking on the upper head. It breeds in brushy areas in the taiga and tundra of the northernmost parts of the continent and in the Rocky Mountains and Pacific coast. While southerly populations in the Rocky Mountains and coast are largely resident, the breeding populations of the northerly part of its range are migratory and can be found as wintering or passage visitors through most of North America south to central Mexico.
Conservation status: Least Concern
Spring encounter with a male white-throated sparrow in Anoka County, central MN. This species does not usually nest in central MN.. migrates to northern MN & Canada for that activity.
Visitors: Invited to peruse my photostream & albums for various seasonal images of wildlife/scenics/florals.
Due to my fascination with bokeh, I usually shoot wide open. The problem with that is that very little of the image is in focus and due to the quick moving nature of my subjects, most of the time the wrong part ends up being in focus. Sometimes, however, lady luck or whoever is in charge of these things bestows a smile on you. That was the case here, because beak, forehead and eye are exactly what I was aiming for. Would have been nice if the feet had been as sharp as well, but I suppose you could make the argument that they portray a bit of a sense of motion. (That’s an excuse, really). Oh, and what is my female sparrow buddy levitating over? That would be the metal flower, courtesy of my daughter.
Very big crop (scale 100%)
I was on the other side of a fence

this little sparrow decided to perch near where I was sitting and didn't seem to mind me sticking a lens into her face to capture this portrait.
The sparrows have their houses in the front garden, where the cats do not disturb...
House Sparrow (Passer domesticus) Danish: Gråspurv, 28.03.2023

A friend asked me to come out to her place in south east Edmonton to photograph what she was sure was a Lark Sparrow.
It is a Lark Sparrow and probably nesting there. I don't know if there are any records of Lark Sparrows nesting within the city limits. We are quite a bit north of their traditional breeding range which is in southern Alberta. Saskatchewan, Manitoba in Canada, and many US states especially central, west, and south.
The song is very distinctive. Follow the link below if you would like to hear it.
