Song Sparrows are beautiful but sometimes ignored by photographers because they lack the vibrant colors of other birds. They make up for their lack of flashy colors with their beautiful songs. I will sometimes record the song of s song sparrow on my phone. I will play back the recording and it will often attract the bird and allow me to get very close. This works with most song birds. Here is a series of song sparrow photos that I took today. I recorded it with my phone and I was able to get close to get these photos.
