The birds and pictures are beautiful and sharp. You must have a way of communicating with birds for them to pose for you and let you come so close to them. Well done Ed. Mabuhay.

Excellent captures, Ed!
The 3rd sparrow (4th photo) if I'm not mistaken is a Vesper Sparrow (Pooecetes gramineus) based on the white tail edges. It is probably still a juvenile - the eyerings are not that pronounced yet.

your picture of the clay-coloured sparrows.
Is the background a canola fields in bloom? Loved driving that country with nothing but yellow flowers.

Again, thank you guys. @ Jun, that's right BG is a canola farm in bloom (of course for making canola oil). Here's another shot of that same bird.  |

Wonderful stunning images Ed, the first image is wicked. Now that you mentioned it. If you looked closely to the sandpipers chest. The pattern looks like it has many tiny birds in flight ;D |
