Can someone confirm the id for me? I am fairly certain, but would really appreciate a second opinion in case there is something I'm not seeing here. thanks!   ps. sorry for the lousy photo, but I had to take this at 1600 iso just to get anything at all since the weather is less than ideal today. |

You got it bang on! White throat, little bit of yellow above the eye (supraloral) and little pattern on the breast and sides. A great sighting! I like the picture a great deal! For 1600, that's pretty good!!!

Nice find and nice picture Terri. Is it possible for others to view this bird? I wouldn't mind getting it on my list.
See you in the field

Wow! If this beautiful White-throated Sparrow qualifies as a "lousy" picture, I better stop posting pictures as I would hate to know what they qualify as  . Nice picture of an awesome bird. I would love to add it to my backyard list. Feel free to send it over my way. Cheam Lake could use its second sighting! Thanks for posting, and a great addition to our challenge of 100 birds. Dave |

Dave, don't stop posting pictures! I based my 'lousy' rating on seeing the photo at full resolution...where the noise really stands out.... that isn't nearly as obvious in the smaller size here...but I did overexpose it a bit and the contrast is poor.  I know I can usually take better photos than this. Len, I didn't see it later in the day so I don't know if it is still around. if it is, then yes we can arrange something so others get a chance to see it. though with some of the puddles in my yard from the rain and melting snow, you might need hip waders. ;D ;D ;D |
