We've gone for two evening walks to see if different birds would be out or in a mood to be photographed. There was no sign of the swallows and we mostly just saw more of the regulars. The first two we got were robins in interesting places.
Another male quail was very willing to pose on the grass, but he was later outdone by one who was showing off on a telephone line.
A new addition to my collection is a common starling. They are very hard to miss.
I think that I've identified these little ones as House Sparrows. There are a lot of different kinds of sparrows that could appear in the area and many look similar to me, but I think after getting a picture of the male I can be pretty sure of their identities. However, I could be wrong about what I think is the female, because I also read that different kinds of sparrows can move in mixed flocks. It's hard to get a good shot with how much they move and how timid they are.
We can hear Mourning Doves crying every time we go for a walk, and now we have their pictures in the collection, too. Cheer up, little guys!
