I have not been able to identify what kind of a sparrow this is. So hopefully someone can help me with the ID. On another note, all of these shots were taken hand holding the Sony A99V & Tamron 150-600. Most of the bird shots range from 25 to 60'. The Finch, Cardinal and Blk. Capped Chickadee were about 25' away. I did some slight tweaking in Lt. Room 5. I think I have got more steady holding the gear, since I switched to decaf coffee :lol: The doe that looks like it is under a tin roof was actually feeding under solar panels at Sachuest NWLR. The other doe photo was in the bush at about 150'. As for the Mocking Bird, I missed a shot of a lifetime because there were two who seemed to be doing the mating dance. I couldn't focus fast enough.

The first one appears to be a White-throated Sparrow. Nice shots.

Looks more like a chipping sparrow, not a white throated sparrow.

Nice shots...

Thanks for viewing & input rmorrison. As you can see attached is a better shot of the White Throated Sparrow. The original I posted was a side view and at quite a distance. The slight yellow on the beak and small amount of white that is visible on the original, I would say confirms my agreement with Bozsik.

White Throated Sparrow
