If I thought about my best or favorite photo for much more than a few seconds having to choose would be difficult. But as soon as I thought about it this photo was the first photo that popped into my head. It's a Mangrove Swallow, the photo was taken while on a river tour of the Frio River in the northern part of Costa Rica. It was taken last year in January, a few months before the pandemic kicked in.

Not my favorite bird, but I took this photo a few days ago and thought it was a nice shot.

Hello, Seen a few days ago in Chapel Hill, NC. This is the season of the sparrow around here. Mostly I see White-throated and Song Sparrows, but I'm always looking for the different sparrow in the crowd. I do see Swamp's and occasionally a Fox or Savannah. I'm not sure if the two photos are of the same bird, but I thought these were Swamp Sparrow's although I thought I'd ask for another opinion or two. Thanks!

The Saltator photo I posted was that of a Black-headed Saltator. The photo was taken in Playacar in the Yucatan a few days ago. The Buff-throated would be uncommon for that part of Mexico.
