Frost and Feathers at Millstone Park

A frost-covered morning at Millstone Park brought sparrows, a stunning red-tailed hawk, and light that turned the Indian grass to gold.

Sparrow in a Tree

I need some help with this sparrow. So many of these little birds look much alike. I'm guessing that this is a swamp sparrow (Melospiza georgiana) which is what I'll call it unless I find out differently. Merlin identified it as a golden-crowned sparrow which is very unlikely because their range is the west coast. I took this photo, 20 September 2024, in Shreveport, Louisiana on the bank of the Red River. What do you think?

Hmmm ... Copilot thinks it might be a song sparrow (Melospiza melodia).

As I've mentioned, I have a gallery of my favorite photos at:

My first Swamp Sparrow of the season. Not sure what happens at the end with the squirrel. I didn't notice it at the time. Hijinks!
