FreeLists / birdky / [birdky] didn't ID pop-up sparrows again

["Lyneart" <lyneart@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

This year I carried my digital camera with me during  pasture clipping. Little 
sparrows began to pop up and drop back down a short way up ahead as I neared 
the completion of the first field. I repeatedly stopped the tractor and spotted 
one or two on the ground but couldn't see them on my display screen in the 
bright light. I took some shots but the sparrows were nowhere to be found.
  "You dope!" I thought. The thing to do is to use the view finder instead of 
the display screen. The next day I had one last opportunity when  a sparrow 
popped up, then lit on a fence right beside the tractor. I whipped out the 
camera and snapped off 3 shots looking through the view finder before it took 
off. This time, in my haste, I didn't remove the lens cap. 
  Well, there's always next year.
