CLOSED: Swamp Sparrow?

I have two birds that I think are both Swamp Sparrows.
Thank you,
Tony

Looking at this site I would agree. Note there's a slight variation around the eyes but maybe that's the marking of the difference between a male and female. Take a look

By the way where do you go to shoot birds?

Yep, Swamp Sparrow for me too.

Resin, thank you again.

Methodical, thank you and to answer your question.

My top three spot are
1. Occoquan Bay NWR
2. Mason Neck State Park
3. Julie J. Metz Wetlands Bank (because it’s close to my house)

If you look at my site you will see I have most of my pictures labeled with the location where it was taken. This will help give you an idea what you might see at a location. Plus other locations that I did not list above.
