Seaside Sparrow

This picture of this Seaside Sparrow was taken at the Oceanside Marine Study Area. The picture of this Seaside Sparrow was taken with the CANON EOS7D and the CANON 100-400mm lens and the CANON 580EXII flash.

The Seaside Sparrow eats tiny young crabs,
and other small marine animals and is usually very hard to detect because it lives near the ground in the grass.

I attended a photography workshop led by David Speiser through the New York City Audubon Society Saturday which facilitated my getting this nice capture.

To me, it looks like this White-throated Sparrow put on a shiny tuxedo for the breeding season.

It took me quite a while to be able to get a picture of this Canada Warbler because he did not stay in one place for very long.

I was lucky to find a nice spot where there were many migrants bathing in in the New York Botanical Gardens near the Twin Lakes.
