I know nothing about Oregon birds, except Bramblings live in backyards and Snow Buntings live in parking lots.<br /><br />That short orangish bill is pretty telling. Red-breasted doesnt breed in the Lower 48.<br /><br />I hope, someday, I too can tell someone I cant get a scope because I have to buy a house first.

With juvenile sparrows there are usually clues on the face and head that look enough like the adults that they are identifiable. Juvenile plumage only lasts a few weeks for sparrows, so you don't get much chance to learn them each year.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15047133202447295521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8715459874050137252.post-74392124761765932942012-08-05T09:59:59.899-07:002012-08-05T09:59:59.899-07:00It was.

My study grid didn't have any poison oak on it but my colleague's did and he got a terrible case. That wAS awful and awesome at the same time. That was also the summer that I walked up to one of the mist nest and there was a sharpie in it. I removed it without gloves because I was clueless and was lucky I didn't get nailed!Laura W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11701595535440501873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8715459874050137252.post-87631600687090867092012-08-05T07:15:48.570-07:002012-08-05T07:15:48.570-07:00Haha, that sounds both awful and awesome at the sa...Haha, that sounds both awful and awesome at the same time!Jen Sanfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08932953314258705622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8715459874050137252.post-48874606782947739122012-08-05T04:38:56.949-07:002012-08-05T04:38:56.949-07:00Cool sighting of the eagle and I love the cute wre...Cool sighting of the eagle and I love the cute wrentits.

That meant I had to wend my way through thick brush trying to find them, id them by their color banded legs, and find nests. I found my one and only nest on my birthday and the chicks were nearly fledged so I ran back for the banding kit and banded their fluffy selves. Ah, wrentits.Laura W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11701595535440501873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8715459874050137252.post-37764813737514835042012-08-04T19:14:56.510-07:002012-08-04T19:14:56.510-07:00I got no clue on the sparrows, Im not good out of ...I got no clue on the sparrows, Im not good out of my area..lol<br />Super looking shots of all the Wrentits are really cool..and your BOYS look so happy, its dang hot here nutting to do but keep the ac company!!Sondrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03485055844682296876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8715459874050137252.post-21951562068931910732012-08-04T19:03:20.850-07:002012-08-04T19:03:20.850-07:00Scope's on hold till I find a house...
