50th Eagle Optics Bird!



An American Tree Sparrow coming to our feeders at Eagle Optics is the 50th bird on our store list that we've been keeping for about 5 years. Although we're located in a business park in Middleton with lots of warehouse buildings, there's a field across the street and enough trees around to give birds something to perch in. Our list includes common birds like Northern Cardinal, Blue Jay and Black-capped Chickadee, but also more unusual ones like Peregrine Falcon, Scarlet Tanager and Grasshopper Sparrow.

What a captivating shot of an American Tree Sparrow. Such a common bird and yet, majestic, in its own right. It seems only fitting that this bird is given a number of distinction on the EO list! Happy Sightings!
