    Quick report from 1st day in San Diego. Must post fast before I run out of power down here by the pool where the WiFi reception is best. Joined a local Audubon outing that I found on line. 3 hours of birding around Santee Lakes, 54 species observed (not all by me, but this was the group total)...

    This sparrow gets its name from its melodious song, which resembles those of the lark family. Not the best of photos but I only see them a couple times a year.

    Lark Sparrow for ducbucln

    Hi Folks; As I think this photo is a better representative of the Lark Sparrow I posted yesterday, I am posting this one for ducbucln who was concerned about how close they looked to a female Black-headed Grosbeak.

    Rare visitor to New Hampshire. This lark sparrow was sitting at the entrance to Hampton Beach State Park - shot using my car as a blind.
  16. Lark Sparrow

    Lark Sparrow

    An endemic bird of the California, So. Sierra Mnt. They have a very complicated song, and a variety of vocalizations. They tend not to congrigate with other birds while feeding, stay in localized flocks, while on the ground.
  17. Lark Sparrow (1st year bird)

    Lark Sparrow (1st year bird)

    This was a good year for this species; many fledgings. The streaking in the chin, neck and chest regions denotes a 1s year bird. After moulting these streaks will be gone, replaced by a single, diamond shapped spot , center of chest

    Lark Sparrow

    A juvenile bird (left) begging for feeding. This is an experiment in "faux-tonemapping"; so if the colors seem a bit too rich, this is the reason.

    It is hot here, 116 deg. Far., as I post this. These are in their scruffy plumage, but still have the distinctive geometry to the head.

    Fine looking morsel this fellow has - looking at the image up close it looks like it has little white slippers on its multiple feet.
  25. Lark Sparrow

    Lark Sparrow

    It is entering the nesting season for this species, which may last until July. They tend to make their nests on the ground, or in densly grown thickets. Males may pick the site; the female constructs the nest. About the only differentiating characteristic between the sexes is size, otherwise...
