Bright & Brilliant

Spring brings back the bright, brilliant colors. That includes the American Goldfinch. I get all excited when I see these guys in their bright yellow suit show up. It is getting good out there.

Connecting Sounds

It does not matter how long I have been photographing birds, there's always something new to learn. I thought I know the song of the Field Sparrow but there was this song I have heard for a while and was not sure what it was. This past weekend, I connect that song to the field sparrow. I don't know how I missed this, but here is the call of the field sparrow: Field Sparrow Song.
