PaulK Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 I'm a huge sparrow fan, and I'm in part convinced that sparrows are second only to gulls in birds that people think we're silly for being excited about. Here are some of my favourites. Song White-crowned, the sound of summer in Vancouver Spotted Towhee - here's a really weird one Lincoln's Golden-crowned Junco Chipping Fox Savannah Rufous-collared (not North American) The kind of thing that we find incredibly helpful and our non-birding friends and family find baffling 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulK Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 4 minutes ago, neilpa said: What book is that? It's an older Peterson title, A field guide to advanced birding : birding challenges and how to approach them by Ken Kaufman. The link below has a full list of chapters. It's a fantastic book, and is interesting because it's almost entirely text-based. https://www.worldcat.org/title/field-guide-to-advanced-birding-birding-challenges-and-how-to-approach-them/oclc/20852923?tab=tags 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexHenry Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 I have a Sagebrush (Sage?) Sparrow picture somewhere... Also since we’ve done most of the North American species maybe we can do some different subspecies! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking this up made me realize there's an updated version, which is now coming from the library. My goal of checking out every birding book is inching closer to completion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DLecy Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 Taken with my old camera. Poor photos but if we are trying to close out sparrows and their allies (not sure if that's the purpose on this thread or not), here are two. I have a photo of a Five-striped Sparrow, but it's bad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that the Abbotts lagoon bird? I was never able to get out/ or find it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
