Fall is here! A walk on the Western Waterfront Trail

Fall is here! A walk on the Western Waterfront Trail

August 17, 2016December 23, 2019 Laura Erickson Leave a comment

A lot of people seem to think it’s still summer—yesterday’s sweltering 88 degrees contributes to that misapprehension. Birds know better. Days are noticeably getting shorter, most baby birds of the year are on their own now, and adults are recovering from the rigors of raising those young birds—many have finished molting into new feathers and […]

A Fun Day for Sparrows and Buntings

A Fun Day for Sparrows and Buntings

March 8, 2015December 23, 2019 Scott Simmons 1 Comment

Yesterday I went to my favorite little sparrow spot in Seminole County. It has been fantastic to us this winter, since we’ve been able to see Grasshopper Sparrow, Vesper Sparrow, Song Sparrow, White-crowned Sparrow, Lincoln’s Sparrow, and even a Lark Sparrow, not to mention our more commons species: Savannah, Swamp and Chipping Sparrows. However, since […]

Chipping Sparrow at Central Winds Park

When I moved to Florida I was very new to birding, and I knew next to nothing about sparrows. I remember going to take our dog Ella to a dog park. I didn’t know at the time that right next to this dog park was the best place to find warblers in Seminole County, Central […]

I found this park around November of last year, and the first time I visited I thought it might be a great place for some fun sparrows to show up. However, despite many visits, until this morning I’ve only seen Savannah and Swamp Sparrows here. But this morning I got to add a third sparrow […]

Swamp Sparrow Weirdness

Swamp Sparrow The other day I found some odd-looking Swamp Sparrows. For comparison, I thought I’d first show a couple normal-looking Swamp Sparrows. These top two photos have either no streaking or very diffuse streaking on the breast. Swamp Sparrow This one below has streaking a little more well-defined, and I’m no good at aging […]

It doesn’t look like much, but this little fence on Canal St just south of Lake Jesup is quickly becoming one of my favorite places for photographing sparrows and other perching birds. This morning was one of my best sparrow photo days. I was hoping to find a White-crowned Sparrow here, which I didn’t find, […]

Lake Lotus Park, 12/11/2012

It was slow at Lake Lotus this morning. I first drove by an orange grove nearby to see what I could find–the most interesting find was a small flock of House Finches. Then I went to Lake Lotus and walked the boardwalk. The most interesting bird I found there was a Swamp Sparrow, but my […]
