White-throated Sparrow

I'm aware that it's Flower Friday. Also Squirrel Friday. I haven't seen a squirrel at the house today, so that's out. And while a flower is certainly doable... meh. So then all I had until about ten minutes ago was a bunch of dreary out of focus birds moping around in the drizzly greyness. But! Then things brightened up just a little for a moment, so I got a few relatively decent shots. I was tempted to blip the Cardinal because red always makes a nice splash, but in the end I liked this subtler fellow.

Meanwhile, a friend asked me if I wanted to join her at a local bird club event involving going out at dusk to look for American Woodcocks. As I did actually join said club at one point last year, and as the event is taking place out here in my actual neck of the woods, I figure I should say yes to it. So instead of looking at people's blips and commenting and replying to same, I'll be out for a bit this evening, trying to find some rather odd birds. Let's hope it's not all in vain! KangaZu blipped one of them just the other day!
