Yesterday, I took lots of Fox Sparrow photos, and by doing so, I conquered a nemesis. I’ve had so much trouble getting Fox Sparrow images that I actually like.<\/p>\n

I saw Fox Sparrows infrequently in Utah, but something always<\/em> seemed to go wrong when I took photos of this species there.<\/p>\n

Yesterday, I had foggy weather, a thick layer of snow on the ground, and temperatures that chilled me to the bone. But I finally have Fox Sparrow photos I like and appreciate.<\/p>\n

And it turns out there were two Fox Sparrows coming to the seed feeders, which meant double the delight!<\/p>\n

One of the Fox Sparrows hid under my snow-covered Jeep, while the other took cover in a nearby oak tree. Both of the Fox Sparrows were looking for food.<\/p>\n

I had so much fun photographing the Fox Sparrows. Maybe they will stick around after the snow melts, and I’ll have more opportunities to photograph them this winter. It might even snow again, which could bring them back.<\/p>\n

The joy I felt seeing and photographing the Fox Sparrows<\/span><\/a> was immense, and I also saw and photographed more Rusty Blackbirds too. At one point, I could see six of them foraging in the snow at the same time.<\/p>\n

My morning started with owls calling in the dark of the night, and that seems to create magic for the rest of the day, I swear!<\/p>\n

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