My Northern Hawk owl photos have now been up for some time and I hadn't updated my blog site in several weeks, mainly due to a trip to Texas. I've now got a large collection of photos from my Texas trip which will be debuting on the blog site at some time in the future. However I wanted to try to finish posting some of my better Bosque del Apache NWR photos before moving on to the Texas photos.
In the meantime I've sort of lost track of which Bosque del Apache photos I posted previously. I tired to make some effort to insure that these weren't previously posted.
A female Northern shoveler...
A juvenile White-crowned sparrow (I hope!). These sparrows look very similar to the mature Chipping sparrows! I keep hoping to get a really good photo of a mature and juvenile White-crowned sparrow in the same photo but thus far the shot has eluded me.
A White-throated sparrow which my wife spotted and I managed to photograph a day later. I've seen very few of these birds in my life and thought my chances of photographing one were rather small. I've always associated these sparrows with being around water, but this one was in a desert garden feature near the headquarters/visitors' center with no water within several hundred yards.
Come visit and I'll show you lots of white-throated sparrows!
