Wow these pictures are awesome! You are very lucky to be able to some of these amazing birds!
Ooh, I am loving these photos! I just saw my first Lark Sparrow a few days ago, though much more worn than the one you shared. So pretty! Great shot of the Audubon's Warbler too, the background is perfect!
Great shots, Chris. I am quite envious.

Wonderful captures Chris. Love the Audobon's particularly.
