H.J. Ruiz – Avian101

Yesterday at noon I went to the town of Marietta, Georgia in company of my cousin that is visiting. We parked at the center of town to the Old Marietta Square.

Still looking very nice and attracting more tourists as I could see, most cafes and bars were busy so were the antiques stores and art galleries.

Walking around the square I couldn’t help but to notice a bunch of birds flying from tree to tree and going into the shrubs surrounding the square. I could identify to be House Sparrows. I had my camera with me but I found it hard to focus because the abundance of leaves and shadows, besides these Sparrows move too much an are very easy to camouflage among the leaves. I had a bunch of bad shots but I could get a couple of half  decent shots for posting today. 🙂

By the way the old section of the town of Marietta is very picturesque and cozy, great place to hunt for bargains on antiques and great place to find good art also. Cafes, Bars and Restaurants have a nice atmosphere and plenty of good stuff. You should visit this town some day.
