Chipping Sparrow

I had the chance to photograph a new species for me this weekend, the Chipping Sparrow.

I almost ignored the bird at first thinking it was a female white throated sparrow. But that rufous cap grabbed my attention!

I look forward to watching this species in my yard. It seems like a great bird.

Images captured with D3X, 600 f/4 w 1.4 TCe-II on Lexar digital film.

Keep the pics coming. Do you have a yard species count?

Thanks Kevin. Funny you mention yard count, just started thinking I should do that.
