LOL. I'm only good enough to possibly know what type of birds we see. I've a long way to go to learn the species. Just remember, I'm a backyard birder - that's it! And you've proven earlier this summer that I can be wrong about some of our newer visitors. I agree with you that your first two photos look like a female house finch -- just look at the beak. Sparrows' beaks are smaller (except for house sparrows, which aren't really sparrows). Your barn swallow photo is cool. And I love that landing pic of the great blue heron. That photo of the surf scoters is really cool, too. I love how the waves were about to break just as you snapped it. Great action shot.Mary Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08077077785157768787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25269877.post-77416434900299807952008-10-06T20:36:00.000-07:002008-10-06T20:36:00.000-07:00I always say I am a photographer first, then a bir...I always say I am a photographer first, then a birder.
