Digital Postcard Series: Beautiful Savannah Sparrow

Facts About the Savannah Sparrow [Passerculus sandwichensis]
Savannah Sparrow was named for the city in Georgia where it was first spotted. Some live in the grassy marshes and wet meadows, and this is where I spotted this beautiful little bird. I was lucky to get a few pictures before my son Matthew scared him away by calling 'Birdie, birdie'.

Camera Settings: Canon EOS 20D, 400mm, f/6.3 at 1/320s, ISO 400

Geographical Location: Aurora Community Arboretum, Auror, Ontario, Canada

You're just mean, dragging me over here to comment. ;-) I will have to change my reader subscription to point here instead. Which was probably your intention.

Wow Anna! That is a beautiful shot. It really is a beautiful little bird too! I looked at the web site for the arboretum and you are fortunate to have a place like that near by. And fairly recently conceived and preserved too.
I love the yellow in him Anna. Ours are just dull brown colors. This is a terrific shot of it.

I had to smile ..... we teach them to love animals and birds then they chase then away by running after them. :)

Anna:

A beautiful little bird, and you photographed it so well. I grey up with those little guys in my neck of the woods, but I didn't know what their name was. I lived in the desert and we just called them sparrows. There must be a million different kinds of sparrows.

Happy trails.

Thank you for sharing this small bird.
I am so curious about small animals.
If you watch to small things you will discover a new Universe...
This is an exquisite photo, Anna. I love welcoming the birds back and hearing their cheer daily. They bring both beauty and music to our lives and we take it for granted. Keep up the beautiful work.
