Richard Bowman Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 IMG_7382.CR2 I was looking for a LeCount`s Sparrow, that was seen on Saturday morning 11/17, at the Solis Hotel, near the airport, in Atlanta. I didn`t find that particular bird, but saw this one on Sunday 11/18, taking a dirt bath, or anting, about noon and haven`t been able to figure out what it is. There were lots of other sparrows and warblers, coming out of the brush, from an adjoining field, in back of the hotel, landing in these small trees and working the wet grass.

sfinmt Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 The white eye-ring, dark auricular with white border, and chestnut shoulder patch indicate a Vesper Sparrow, although the auricular appears a bit dark in this photo. Await further confirmation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HamRHead Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 1 hour ago, akiley said: I can't open the file. I can open it on my PC but not on my phone. My first thought was Lark Sparrow based on the chestnut auricular but the rest doesn't fit. Maybe the colors are saturated. Vesper might be right but I'm not sure either.

The Bird Nuts Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 (edited) It's a RAW file and I was able to open it with RawTherapee on my PC. The bird is indeed a Vesper Sparrow. Edited November 20, 2018 by The Bird Nuts 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Bowman Posted November 20, 2018 Author Share Posted November 20, 2018 Thanks everyone, so much! I knew this was a new one on my life list, so I was very excited. I have a hard time with these little guys, so thanks again for your patience and the id, for the new guy! Sorry about the RAW file! Also, a 'new to me' camera and didn`t start thinking about a format issue, until 3am. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcarscadden Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 (edited) fyi....i take the picturs...large 5-10 MB) but not raw...then resize then using the Microsoft photo gallery. That smaller pic i up load to flicker...free account to members of WhatBird or used to be. once on flicker i can import them back to WhatBird without a problem.....fingers crossed..but there are probably many ways to do this same thing Edit...oh i have a Canon T3i but do not use RAW....have had the camera a while now but just have never seen the need for the pics I take.... Edited November 20, 2018 by jcarscadden added camera Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
