Oh wow! Such crisp and lovely photos - thank you for sharing here, and please consider linking up at http://image-in-ing.blogspot.com/2015/04/at-keyboard.html
Those are all lovely portraits of your garden Karen. I especially like the White-throated Sparrow but the Morning Dove is a real winner. great detail in the dove's plumage.
I just wish I could hear that sparrows cheery, some might say monotonous, whistling.
