Sparrows


White Crowned Sparrow

We have two pairs of sparrows this spring, the white crowned sparrow and golden crowned sparrow, who come visiting the juniper bush when the squirrels retreat from their breakfast feast. We have been throwing out a bit of Russian Thistle seed that was getting stale, and this seems to be attracting them, which is a surprise.

Fox Sparrow
One of those birds who usually just go, "Cheep, cheep, cheep" as they travel through the bush year round, and at springtime they give you glorious song to reward your patienced the rest of the year........mind you, I am sure the song is for the mate, not for human entertainment.
