Not a lot of bird happenings this week; everywhere I went was pretty boring bird-wise. This Savannah sparrow at Salmon Creek was the only one who smiled for the camera. He does look rather handsome. It was crazy windy when I took this picture, I'm surprised it came out so sharp. I was happy with how it came out. It was low, low tide when I was at the refuge and while there are obviously always bird tracks in the mudflats, it was like a freaking highway for footprints that day, check it out!

Very nice capture Jill! Incredibly bright yellow eyebrow on this fellow. Very handsome indeed.
Great photo of the little Savannah Sparrow. I agree about the footsteps out across the sand - definitely too many of them! No wonder there were no birds around!
I never would have guessed it was a windy day based on your photo. I think this may be the best look I've gotten out of one of these outside of a guidebook.
WOW! What a shot of the Savannah Sparrow! Absolutely stunning!
Oh...that little guy is really a sweetie! And, those footprints show some busy little birds were there...beautiful!
How sweet of the bird to pose for your shot. Also love the footprint shot.
I really like the bird tracks in the sand. I can just see them running back and forth.
Gorgeous, as always. I just love scrolling back through your posts, and I always marvel at the life you capture so beautifully.
He is posing very nicely for you. Great capture.
Cute little bird :)
I love those bird tracks..just think of the beach party they had!

What a pretty birdie. :) I like the little fluffs of colour on his head - a great 'do' for him!
that's a beauty!

That is a cute entry for mellow yellow Monday.
Nice shot of the sparrow & personally I've always enjoyed bird footprints in the sand (or the swamp or whatever.)
Nice bird and footprints! The Savannah looks like a bird we have here.
Wish you a great week
I'm impressed that you know what kind of sparrow it is. I look at them and just say, "spaarrow." And they are tough to photograph so hats off to you!

He's so sweet. I can imagine his little claws hanging on in the wind - just to pose for you.
