I am in awe over the number of sparrows you saw especially the Nelson's Sparrow which is one of the prettiest sparrows I have seen yet (through your pictures of course). All of your sparrow photos came out wonderful. I have had a hard time finding sparrows this year and when I do they never perch as nicely as they did for you for a photo opportunity.
