I’m super excited to share autumn White-throated Sparrow photos because they are sparrows I only found one time in Utah while living in the Western U.S.<\/p>\n

\"White-throatedWhite-throated Sparrow on a driftwood perch \u2013 Canon R7, f8, 1\/125, ISO 1600, +0.3 EV, Canon 100-400mm at 400mm, natural light<\/span><\/p>\n

Here, I missed seeing them during their breeding season, but once they started migrating back in for the winter, I began seeing them quite frequently.<\/p>\n

Very early in the mornings I’m seeing at least a half dozen White-throated Sparrows feeding under the seed feeders when it is still too dark to photograph them. Later, when the light is better, I see at least that many coming in at random times to feed on the seeds.<\/p>\n

Listening to their sweet, melodic songs and calls<\/span><\/a> is a real treat for me.<\/p>\n

I adore sparrows and have fun identifying them. Some people may think they are simply little brown birds (LBBs), but I can’t resist photographing and sharing images of them. In my mind, they are just as wonderful as any other bird.<\/p>\n

The White-throated Sparrow in my photo was photographed two mornings ago above the seeds when it was still pretty chilly. I feel fortunate that I managed to get a few sharp images, even though my hands were getting numb from the cold, and I was probably shivering at the time.<\/p>\n

I’m still waiting to get my first photos of the season featuring White-crowned Sparrows. I’d love to photograph both White-crowned and White-throated Sparrows side by side in a single frame. I think that would be awesome!<\/p>\n

For now, I’m simply relishing the White-throated Sparrows in my viewfinder, observing them as they feed and listening to their calls as they visit the feeder.<\/p>\n

Life is<\/em> good.<\/p>\n
