My Walk At Cattle Point And the Wee Birds I Saw There That Day

Back on September 25th the same day I took those really cool dew shots of the spider's webs and plants that had gone to seed. I wandered by my favorite Ocean Side spot Cattle Point. There was no mistaking that a House Wren was near by..you could hear it from every direction. So off I went and tracked it down. Then I heard a chipping sparrow and a house sparrow...I believe my middle shots are the Chipping Sparrow and the last shot is the female house sparrow. I'm really happy about the Wren shot...I haven't gotten a picture of a House Wren before this is my first capture. Happy about that.... Everyone happy Saturday!!! I'll be thinking of all of you as I work today...hoping that you are getting fabulous shots to share.

    Hi Crista. Sorry to hear you're having to work. Well I had a 2 hour walk today & sightings were thin on the ground so no new pics for a while. Hope you have a good week. FAB

    Crista, love these bird shots. Wished I could do better with my bird shots but I haven't been out a lot of late. I can't imagine what the weather is like in Vancouver. I hope someday to journey that way. Please don't work too hard today. If it helps, I worked about 4 hours myself today. Carol

    Great photos of your wren and sparrows.
    Pleased you managed to beat the computer into submission. They do tend to throw tantrums from time to time.

    Great shots! I would have said that was a Carolina Wren, but maybe it is just the angle. Hard to tell when you don't actually see the bird yourself. I'm looking at the yellowish belly and the eye stripe. It's very pretty, whichever it is :-)
