Small point, there is an area along the coast of California where the White Crowned sparrows are year round, and I live in the southern tip of that area.

Are they just a winter bird for you down there or just in the area where you are at?

Great shots! Love both of your lenses. They both reach out to bring the subject in close. Mahalo for sharing.

We have a flock of Cedar Waxwings that reside in our area year round, I always enjoy seeing them fly over our house as they shimmer in the sunlight. I'm located near the Sacramento area so not really close to the the ocean.
