New ‘Earliest Bird’ Record »

Whew. Song Sparrow.

I finally got that guy (or gal). And it was way frustrating, because I only had two shots left on my daily roll of 10, and with the (presumably intentional) long reload times on the My Gallery page, it’s an exercise in hair-pulling to try to quickly delete a couple of failed attempts in order to free up space to try again.

But anyway, I got the shot. Not a great shot, but mostly in-focus, and identifiable. Whew.

Update: He (or she) hung around at the feeder afterward, leading to this really impressive shot by lin, taken at 7:41 p.m.:

And then kryptonkay got this shot at 8:24 p.m., setting the new site record for latest identified photo! Cool! I’m glad someone had the patience to stick around for that, because I sure didn’t. :-)

    It’s 8:30 pm and the song sparrow is at the feeder eating. I got a picture but it’s dark.Maybe we can get a better picture tommorow.

    Yeah, but as I noted in the update, your picture set a new record for latest (in the day) identified photo. So that’s pretty neat.
