I think this is a chipping sparrow. Have not seen many with the yellow streak on the top of the head, Correction, this is a White-Throated Sparrow (Zonotrichia albicollis). The chipping sparrow does not have those yellow marks. Thank you JoAnn.

I think I saw it on the highway when they were striping the lanes Eggz. Just kidding. Sure looks like one. Your studio is really uptown these days.

Have a good time in 09' TICK

Hi, Greg,
This is such a good shot that it was easy to compare it with the illustrations in my bird book. I believe what you have here is a White-Throated Sparrow (Zonotrichia albicollis). The chipping sparrow does not have those yellow "eyebrows".
I agree with Tick that your studio set-up is excellent.

If you have a garden please feed the birds this winter, & supply drinking water not ice, it's so important. . . . Please help dwindling bird numbers survive.

You seem to be in the holiday spirit still with the red berries and spot of greenery. It looks super, my friend.

I love your lovely little bird set up, Gregg. Great looking little guy he is too. I wouldn't have known what bird he was.

Love the set-up here Gregg. Very festive and eye-catching. your capture of one of the rarer feathered friends is intriguing to me. I like the way Mr. Bird landed right between the red berries and the evergreen. Good DOF as well. To my favorites this goes and many thanks for sharing this with me :-)
