A Few Recent Birds
This is one of my roughly semiannual attempts to give my readers a feel for some of the birds I’ve been photographing recently that didn’t make it to my blog.

Some Random Recent Birds And Critters
A potpourri of sorts on this Saturday morning. Each of the following photos was taken in the last couple of weeks and all but one were taken in the Wasatch Mountains.
Song Sparrow – After The Bath
A Merry Christmas To All Of My Feathered Photography Friends
I don’t have many Christmassy photos but this one certainly has the feel of the season.
The Song Sparrow Versus The Serviceberry
An Acrobatic Song Sparrow Yesterday Morning
Song Sparrow In A Frosty Wonderland
I don’t have many “Christmassy” images but for me this one certainly showcases the season.
Song Sparrow In A Frosty, Sparkling Wonderland
Sometimes the setting is just as important to the photo as the subject. I believe that to be the case for each image in this series of six.
Yet Another Reason Birds Need Appropriate Habitat
It’s well-known that birds need appropriate habitat to survive and thrive, particularly during the breeding season. But they need it during winter too.
Several Sparrow Species In Frost And Snow
In my area most sparrow species aren’t easy to approach or catch out in the open for most of the year but when it’s very cold and they decide it’s time to begin their communal morning feeding routine they become much braver souls. Earlier this week I photographed three species of sparrows as they harvested seeds from their frost-covered parent plants.
Song Sparrow In A Frosty Wonderland
It’s my natural tendency to avoid public displays of sentiment (another character flaw…) but recently I’ve been reflecting on just how much I enjoy blogging and interacting with my readers. Even though I’ve never actually met most of you, I can’t help but feel that we have become “friends” on some level. And this time of year especially, I think of my friends. Friends usually share at least some common interests and for us it seems to be a mix of birds, nature and/or photography. Many of you are more knowledgeable in those areas than I am and have graciously shared your expertise and experiences with me and others. For that I am grateful. So I wanted to wish each of you the very best this holiday season. I hope you’re with family and loved ones and that your experiences over the next few days will add to your cherished memories down the road. I wish you a safe and joyous holiday season! Ron About the image: The bird is a Song Sparrow, plucking seeds from a hoar frost covered stem on a very cold and magical early morning on the refuge wetlands. You can see frost falling near the tail from the feeding activity.
