Sparrow Seven

This morning I headed out to Occoquan Bay NWR, hoping to find a good diversity of sparrows, since it's getting into prime sparrow migration time.

Find them I did! Here are the numbers of the numbers and species I found:

Field Sparrow     7
Savannah Sparrow     12
Song Sparrow     35
Lincoln's Sparrow     2
Swamp Sparrow     10
White-throated Sparrow     4
White-crowned Sparrow     3
