Melospiza georgiana - Swamp Sparrow

Sunday, October 21

While we were sitting on the back deck yesterday, something flew over and Sarah got a glimpse of the high soaring bird between the roof lines of the breezeway.

"That's a buzzard, isn't it?" I said.

"No, it's the wrong color!!!" Sarah replied.

I ran for the camera and extended the zoom to the full 300mm. He politely landed in one of the bare trees on the Lane and posed for his picture to be taken.
