Another sparrow of today: the Spanish sparrow is rarer even here in Spain and I usually don’t see more than 1-2 per year, so very lucky :-)

I went for a long (7.5km) hike today at my local CA, and I (finally!) managed to get the bird of the week.
I got Juncos and White-throated Sparrows.
Highlight of the day, though, was this guy:

I saw some kind of hawk or something today. It was fairly far off, and the pictures aren’t great, but I’m hoping it can be identified.

Looks fine for Sharp-shinned Hawk! I downloaded the photo and played around with the editing settings, and I was able to make out some more ID features.

Ooh, that’s so cool! I’ve never seen one of those before. I very rarely see hawks!

Lol, I’d love to see a mallard irl, but they don’t exist in India. Instead we got spot-billed-ducks!
