Documentation Photography at Its Worst (almost)

Today Crumby felt like he needed to fluff up his Big Ass Year List.  Jeez Louise, Crumby reasoned, I need to get at least 100 species for January. 

So Crumby set out to list some more avian or bird species for his Big Ass Year.  Featured is one of the species Crumby listed  for  his Big Ass Year,  today,  the fox sparrow (Passerella iliaca).  Actually, Crumby espied more fox sparrows today,  in 30 minutes than he ever espied in all the previous years combined.  Plus, in addition to this fairly miserable peekture,  Crumby also recorded a couple of the fox sparrows singing.  Weird!  Fox sparrows must be closely related to the Zonotrichias which also sing like canaries all winter.

The Big Ass Year total is 98 and now includes eastern  meadowlark.  Three eastern meadowlarks, out of dozens, vocalized today.  However,  Crumby believes that the peekture in a previous venue entry of a a meadowlark is actually a western.  That's because the yellow invades the eye line.  Nevertheless,  Crumby is not counting that one.  Because believing isn't everything.
