Spotted this during my morning walk a short time ago. This guy looks like he's saying, "For Pete's sake, take the picture will ya? I can't hold this pose forever!!"

At Huntington Beach State Park, SC

I don't see this bird in the garden very often.

Slightly ruffled by very cold and stiff winds.

Happened to see this sparrow sitting in a shrub in our front yard. I couldn't believe how some random twig almost perfectly outlined the bird!!

We had a heavy snowfall. This Song Sparrow was waiting for a couple Blue Jays to vacate where I had spread some seeds so he could slip in and have a few.

Song Sparrow from October, before everything went gray and brown around here.

I was making a pile of old metal objects to put out to be picked up for recycling, including an old broken down bike. Of course as soon as I put it out this Song Sparrow had to come take a look to see what was going on.

I had just changed the water in the pan when this guy decided to take a bath. He jumped in and jumped out twice as fast. I think the water was a bit cold still.

A Song Sparrow picture with lots of Bokeh. Or if you're a Camera Conspiracies fan, lots of Toneh. lol

I have several Song Sparrows in my yard at any one time. They are quite used to me. But this is a "wild" sparrow I met while on a walk. It perched on a fence post and chirped at me constantly as I passed. It stayed on the post until I was well beyond its territory. Then it seemed...

The song sparrows do well here, they are very numerous and I'm seeing this scene play out all over my yard.

A study in indecision. It hung like this for a good 10 or 15 seconds targeting something down below. After that whatever it was must not have been what this bird thought it was, as the sparrow straightened up then went elsewhere.

Singin in the rain.

Have several in the yard every day. Gotta love them. My only gripe with them is they are very territorial toward other sparrows. It's funny because they will totally ignore similar sized birds like Chickadees, warblers and nuthatches, but they will aggressively chase away white throated...
