Sora - this is one of the HARDEST BIRDS TO FIND that Rick and I have ever gone hunting for. 

 The next 3 pictures are a fun game Rick and I played ALL AFTERNOON called "Spot the Sora"



This is the first picture Not Cropped for anyone who wants a real challenge
Sora's are REALLY hard to find until they flush, and really hard to get a picture of in flight because they drop back down so quickly. 
Rose breasted Grosbeak

Goldfinch

White throated Sparrow
