Hey I found a dark-eyed junco in our yard who would cooperate momentarily!
I’m pretty sure this is a type of sparrow, but what kind?
He would not come out from behind that branch, but he has a little bit of yellow near the beak, and black stripes with white in the middle on his head.
Does seeing this side help?
The white-breasted nuthatches are typically zany.

Fabulous bird shots! WB Nuthatches are a favorite of mine! Could the sparrow be a White-throated Sparrow?

Such beautiful clear shots – well done indeed. It’s so rewarding to feed the birds and observe them at close(r) quarters.

I agree with Kerri above, the bird looks like a White throat Sparrow. Great Birdie shots. Well done.
The dragonfly above is wonderful too. Great critter photos.

You must have some kind of telepathic ability with tiny birds. They never ever sit still like this for me.

Beautiful bird photographs Lisa – and yes, your sparrow is a White Throated Sparrow. I’m experiencing a little lens envy looking at these images! Nicely done!

I don’t know what kind of sparrow that is, but wasn’t it nice of him to turn so you could see both profiles!
