Originally found by Steve Warner, at Neawanna Wetlands in Seaside. A great find! I have only seen Black-throated Sparrows before at Diamond Craters, near Malheur NWR.
Sony RX10 IV with fixed f2.4-4, 24-600mm (25x optical) zoom lens. This superzoom camera has a 1-inch, 20.1-megapixel sensor. The viewfinder is great, making it easy to find the bird. Zoom and auto-focus are very fast, making it more likely to get the photo before the bird is gone.
