Stephen > Coming back again, this olive sparrow only wanted to get a quick drink of water before it left in a flash. Martin Refuge, Edinburg, Texas, June 2008
Stephen > I was fortunate to be able to photograph this shy olive sparrow, a species only found in the Lower Rio Grande Valley. Martin Refuge, Edinburg, Texas, June 2008
Stephen > The olive sparrows prefer to stay low and in dense brush. The olive sparrows I photographed at the Martin Refuge in Edinburg, Texas like this one, would come in quickly to the blind area to take some seed and sometimes water. Then as quickly as it came, it would fly away back into the brush. June 2008.
Stephen > This olive sparrow quickly flew away with this sunflower seed in its mouth. Martin Refuge, Edinburg, Texas, June 2008
Stephen > Morning light, nice perch, nice eye contact...I really lucked out with this shot of a rufous crowned sparrow. Los Madrones Ranch, Dripping Springs, Texas, April 2008.
Stephen > Another nice perch from a rufous crowned sparrow at Los Madrones Ranch near Dripping Springs, Texas, April 2008.
Stephen > I like this image because it shows the back plumage well of this rufous crowned sparrow. It also highlights the long tail that this species of sparrow has. This photo was taken at one of the feeding stations at Los Madrones Ranch near Dripping Springs, Texas. April 2008.
Stephen > Here is a nice side view of the rufous crowned sparrow that stayed very close to the morning blind at Los Madrones Ranch. Dripping Springs, Texas, April 2008
Stephen > The rufous crowned sparrows are known for being secretive and living close to the ground in the underbrush, but I was fortunate to have seen quite a few active ones on my visit to Los Madrones Ranch near Dripping Springs, Texas, April 2008.
