As I was shooting this afternoon, a guy stepped off his porch and asked me what I was seeing. I said, “sky, clouds, trees”. He said, “Oh, I wondered if there was something I should be aware of.” I said, “Yes, sky, clouds, trees.”
And we continued our walk around the neighborhood …

Then I spotted some movement — what I am told are white crown sparrows, nibbling at dandelions. My lens was too short, my handheld grip was unsteady, and my view through the less-than-pristine window glass killed any potential sharpness. But let’s severely crop a couple of these shots, and take another look:
Looks like I will never be a birder, but you might want to see a website I built (and fitted some of their photos to the headers) a few years ago — Friends of Ladd Marsh — for people who know what they are doing and how to do it.
And, if anyone is wondering, the lawn mower has not yet returned from repair. Hence, our minor jungle.
