Song Sparrow…I think. Its song was pretty on this morning in June.

Hi Deborah, I love this photo!! 🐦❤️ The songbird looks like it is singing away… and I like the contrast of the foliage it is on – do you know what plant it is? 😊
Thank you so much Jill! I’m not positive but think it might be Common Rush. This area is part of the wetlands here in the Bay Area with lots of different marsh type plants to be found.
Oh yes, quite nice! I feel like I’m with you! Great shot!
🙂 Thank you so much Joey!
Sweet shot of song!
Thank you so much Donna!
Wow!!
Looks like he is singing his little heart out. 🙂
Wonderful composition Deborah, you got him just right!
Thank you so much Belinda!
Aw what a lovely little bird singing away there! Brilliant shot Deborah! 👏👏😊
Thank you so much Lili! xx
Just “WOW”!
Thank you Pit!
I love how you caught him mid-song Deborah!!
Thank you so much Amy!
Very nice! Caught in mid-song 🙂
🙂 Thank you Joanne!
Deborah, you have captured this image perfectly! Well done.
Cobus! How are you and the family? I have been thinking about you since I read about the upheaval in South Africa. I hope you and yours are fine and are making plans to stay fine!
If I can help just holler!
Thanks Deborah! We and ours are well indeed. It is troubling times and we have made adjustments ensure we are keeping safe.
I’m very glad to hear that!
Beautiful photo, Deborah :-). I love the golden light and the clarity of the pretty bird and perch. I think your bird might be a juvenile brown-headed cowbird (based on a photo I saw on All About Birds). The bird’s face lacks the song sparrow’s various dark brown stripes.
Thank you so much Myriam! I appreciate your identifying the bird for me too! xx
I don’t see juvenile brown-headed cowbirds very often, so I’m not 100% sure of my ID. Your golden photo of one is way prettier than any other photo I’ve ever seen. I’m dreaming of the early morning golden light of June… Mmmmmm. 🙂
Me too. 😃
I remember the first time I learned what juvenile red-winged blackbird was. It looks so different from what it will be as an adult. Right now I’m looking forward to warmer days. 😃
☀️😊
Lovely image. really like the setting and bokeh. Not up on your species though.
Thank you so much Brian! Myriam thinks it’s a female Brown-headed cowbird and she’s much better at Identifying birds than I am so, I’ll go with her ID. 😁😃
Deborah, the photo is so clear and beautiful, I think I hear the bird’s song. Hugs on the wing!
Thank you so much Teagan! Hugs back at ya! xx
Nice catch! Hope you have fun on your snow trip and safe travels!
Thank you so much Gordon! This little bird is one from an early morning over to the slough to see the juvenile kites. That seems so long ago now doesn’t it?
I’m heading over the LONG way round to avoid an passes, and chain requirements so it’s going to be a LONG drive going and coming back, but I hope worth it. They had snow again last night so the mountains should be gorgeous.
Hope you have a lovely week-end too!
Such a lovely song for sure! Great photo!
Thank you so much Lynn!
Such a cool photo of singing ❤️
Thank you so much Lynn! I hope you are soon capturing wonderful images of birds singing in your area with your new zoom lens. I know it’s been a desire of yours for a long time.
If I can help with settings or technique just holler! I’m not a professional, but I know a little something about birding that might help get started. xx
You are a superb and amazing photographer! Thank you I will be asking for sure 😀
Caught him mid-song. Fabulous, Deborah.
Thank you very much John!
🙂
This is wonderful, Deborah. I love the focus. That little guy really stands out!
Thank you so much Dan! I’m glad you like it.
Reminds me of Snoopy, The house sparrow who takes over the “blue bird” house we put up.
😃
Great photo
Thank you so much Tiny Jeremy!
