On my way into Ada this morning, I saw this white-crowned sparrow on a gate.
This guy was on at the other end of the same gate. This shot was taken through a dusty windshield, so it isn't very clear. I'm not sure what kind he is, but believe him to be a Harris's Sparrow. Anyone know if this is correct?
I'm fairly proud of this Red-tailed hawk shot. I chase them all the time, but rarely get a good pic.

Below is a barn full of hay.
Betty...exceptional photos today!! Wow...so very impressive. I love how the facial markings show on the sparrow, and the hawk is excellent.
ReplyDeleteAs always, thanks for sharing your post with us at I'd Rather B Birdin'. Happy Holidays to you and yours.
Red-tailed Hawks are not the easiest birds to photograph. I think their wariness comes after decades of persecution by humans.
ReplyDelete...Betty, it's fun to see barns and farming practices from different parts of the country. More and more wrapped round bales are used here. Your silo looks out of use. Thanks for your visit, I hope to see you back in the future.
ReplyDeleteI chase after Red-tailed Hawks too with limited success - you got a really great photo! I like how you captured the light on the Mockingbird, and the Sparrows are cute.
ReplyDeleteLots of hay in the barn, and I see bales lined up behind it, too - well prepared for winter
Hope you are having a wonderful week-end!
nice photos.
ReplyDeletenice barn and lovely bird captures.
