Harris' Sparrow Up Close - 24 Jan 2016


After digiscoping the Purple Finches and House Finches behind the house I was fortunate to get a visit by the Harris' Sparrow. It foraged for a few minutes in the morning sun and provided some great digiscoped looks before flying off with the rest of the flock.
