Christmas Mountains' Christmas

My goal of taking a better photo of the Grasshopper Sparrow than the one I posted yesterday may not have been achieved (you be the judge), but I sure had fun trying. Click images to enlarge.

And while I was at it, I captured a few other birds with my camera. It got confusing at times with many dozen sparrows of at least 12 sparrow species flitting around. Here is a Cassin's that sang briefly.

And a couple spizellas (Clay-colored & Brewer's)

Today I saw my FOS female Lucifer Hummingbird. She seemed to welcome me with open arms, but it may have been the feeder she was happy to see.
