Posted on November 1, 2010 by

Autumn brings an influx of sparrows to the Willamette Valley. Like many groups of birds, the sparrows aren’t that hard to identify, they are just hard to get a good look at.

    I was pleased to see a White-throated at Ridgefield yesterday. I have yet to see a Fox this fall…

    So this is what a regularly updated blog looks like!
    Did you use Photoshop to remove the branches from around that Fox Sparrow?
