I liked how this sparrow framed itself in the brambles during the early, cotton candy color part of last night's sunset. #birds #SparrowSaturday #sunset #silhouette

A Sparrow stood on a fence with it's head extended up in air.
There is a streak of light hitting it and causing a fuzzy effect in the scene.
The background is a holly bush.

A female sparrow stood on a branch with its head turned towards the camera. The Sparrow has light brown head feathers on its back and head. There is a light greyish streak going to the back of the birds head from the eyes. The plumage is also a greyish colour and looks slightly puffy.
There are blurry pink magnolia flowers in the background.

I stopped to hear this young Song Sparrow singing when he flew down and landed on the ground. I got a definite "Are You My Mother?" vibe from the look he gave me. So cute! 🥰

#GardenBirds and #SparrowSaturday , taking a dive off the bird bath. Obviously confused, he should have been diving into the water, not away from it.

I heard so many birds singing Thursday, with the sun bursting through the clouds, mist all around, and steam rising from melting snow puddles. Loudest and sweetest was this song sparrow facing the sun from its cedar perch.
