    House Sparrow on a house

    A few house sparrows in my backyard like to stand on the roof of the house.

  5. 'Where do you want this one?'

    'Where do you want this one?'

    My grand-daughter Alex kept asking me to take photos of Sparrows for her references for a piece she was drawing for her VCE final (digital art). The male was collecting feathers to line the nest as was the female, having free-range chicken is an advantage for them as feathers are always floating...

    Resting on his laurels

    On cherry laurel, that is. Or at least I think that's what it is.

    After dustbathing

    Shaking out the sand. Reminds me a bit of the Pigpen character from Peanuts ;)

  8. Cooling off ...

    Cooling off ...

    Back in June, the weather was quite hot for a while. Also, with nesting just finished, I think the birds had a lot of fleas, mites, and lice to get rid of. All in all, the new water lily pond under construction at Ringve Botanical Garden was a popular place for birds and birders. This day (June...

    SF - Honey, are you still mad at me?

    Look! I've brought you flowers! Male House Sparrow with a bill full of horse chestnut blossoms. Thought I'd post this for SF in advance. I'm busy now packing for a trip tomorrow. Heading to Smla (White-tailed Eagles! Yay!) for a long staycation weekend. I'll have to 'puter along, but may not...

  10. Same singer, different backdrop

    Same singer, different backdrop

    Mr. Not-so-Caruso was singing from the top of a fence in front of a parking lot surrounded by several light industry businesses. I realized that he was standing his ground there, so took the chance that he wouldn't fly if I moved a few steps to get a red wall in the background. I'm not sure it...

  11. Not exactly Caruso

    Not exactly Caruso

    but don't tell him that. Or the lady sparrows, for that matter. This guy was singing persistently, I assume in hopes of enticing some lady to move in with him down by the harbor.

  12. Syng med det nebbet du har

    Syng med det nebbet du har

    Another Norwegian phrase. "Sing with whatever beak you have." This sparrow may not sound like much to our ears, but he's singing bravely anyway. Good for him!

    One of the hiding multitude - for Delia and Bigi

    Thanks Delia and Bigi for reminding me that this is World House Sparrow Day. And congratulations all house sparrows |=)| So sorry I didn't have a better shot of one of you to share. You've been hiding so deep in the hedges lately, but I don't mean to criticize. Do what you need to survive. And...
