IKLland Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 Hi folks. I’ve taking your advice on getting good views in the field vs bad photos, but only bad photos was the option here. I went on the same trail where I had seen the sparrow the other day, and around 100+ feet away was another sparrow. I didn’t have my scope, so I couldn’t get good looks. Awful photos, is this identifiable to RCSP? Perfect habitat for one, seen here at the top of this. Seen today Orange, Ca. Thanks! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
