A sparrow's expedition

avatar

I saw this very small sparrow, who walked a long distance on the park's path searching for edible tree buds which were felled because of strong winds. He made the cutest chirping sounds meanwhile, nearly too high-pitched to be audible.

I used a Minolta 500mm f/8 mirror lens on a Sony α77 camera.

I'm not very good with sparrow ID, but maybe that is a chipping sparrow? There are so many types of sparrows! Great photos and thanks for sharing them with the #featheredfriends community! ❤️

Yes I think it may be a young chipping sparrow! Thanks for the ID help.

Trying to figure out the difference between a Lincoln's sparrow and a female house sparrow that would be a tricky task :-)

Yikes, I would say juvenile female house sparrow... but it seems to have a tint of yellow/green maybe it's a type of bunting?

I never have seen a house sparrow here in the woods, but that is what I thought, too. The camera picked up that color. I couldn't see it with my eyes.
I found another shot with what may be an adult. Does that give you any clues? jtn8ge.jpg

Hehe glad you like it! The bokeh of mirror lenses may not be gracefully creamy, but it has a nice unique and interesting character.
