They are beautiful. I think the only bird you misidentified was the dove. It is actually a Eurasian Collared Dove, a recent invader from Europe. And I second the Chipping Sparrow ID. Good pics, keep em coming!Ryan Ankenyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10278280668844929973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6149902996627365687.post-27697855303524427532010-12-28T17:03:19.575-05:002010-12-28T17:03:19.575-05:00We don't get much of that wonderful white stuf...We don't get much of that wonderful white stuff down here in the low-country.

Especially when there are similarities...it's driving me nuts and, at the same time, I love it!<br /><br />I believe you are right about the dove! <br /><br />We did get some snow..there was even some on the deck and car this morning. But not enough to play in!Empty Nesterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14060983954463697344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6149902996627365687.post-58328163094706110622010-12-27T08:22:44.299-05:002010-12-27T08:22:44.299-05:00Im going out on a limb and say you're un-IDd b...Im going out on a limb and say you're un-IDd bird is a chipping sparrow-and same thing in the shot with 3 birds at the feeder, some females and males! Welcome to the difficult world of "what bird is it?" lol IT really helps to be bring home a photo of it-and you got some great shots and you have an excellent varitey of birds too!!<br />Im wondering if the mourning dove may be what I call a collard dove (ring neck) ..I dont see the black spot on the side of the face that the mourning dove has..but I see that black "collar" on the back of the neck. Happy Birding!! Did you get some snow outta that recent storm?Sondrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03485055844682296876noreply@blogger.com
