Sparrows have remained a work in progress for me. I have begun to enjoy the species more as I have added new ones to memory. These birds seem so very similar to me in the past. It has taken a few years to train my eye to notice their differences more easily. I am thankful today that I am improved in identifying them. Here, in Southeast Texas, we see many Chipping Sparrows in the winter. We see White-throated, Lincoln, White-crowned, Fox, Field and Song also. When I visit the Austin area and Pedernales State Park, Lark, Rufous-crowned, Vesper, Clay-colored, and Savannah Sparrows have been seen. The Swamp Sparrow was seen at Brazos Bend State Park. There are always Sparrows as well as other birds seen during migration which are not residents of the area. I hope you enjoy my photos. Blessings!
