I love their pale, pale bellies and that top-knot that glows like embers when the sun hits it just right. Morning time is the best; they look like Christmas decorations when sitting on a snowy evergreen if you can catch them just as the sun comes up.<br /><br />Funny what a few hours makes, huh? What are we, 5 hours apart? Good to 'see' you again, Bill.Beverlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09334121900896195207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5598189770868382234.post-80608858117094670402011-01-23T17:25:00.265-07:002011-01-23T17:25:00.265-07:00Congratulations on the American Tree Sparrow!

Like you said, I'...Thanks for visiting, Eileen. Like you said, I'm not the best photographer (though I'm convinced I'd do better with a decent camera), so the photos are not mine. Still, it's a great way to illustrate what I find, here. I've been at the 'count' for over two years now, it's fun to watch my yard-list creep towards 100 birds.<br /><br />Wikipedia is my friend.Beverlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09334121900896195207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5598189770868382234.post-6949399411433027402011-01-23T11:21:01.024-07:002011-01-23T11:21:01.024-07:00Wow , you have some great birds for your yard list...Wow , you have some great birds for your yard list.
