little birds in the grass

I walked out to try to capture images of these little birds I saw eating grain from mature grass in the field.

I was hoping to catch one mid-flight...

This one seems to be the look-out.

I'm not such a big threat after all.

Want to see if I can get great shots of these birds through all the grass...

They are so busy and quick.

Wishing I had a lens with better reach.

Any closer, they fly away.

The birds are so light that they are held with a few strands of straw.
