As common as these little birds are, did you know there are about thirty-five different sparrow species in North America?
Personally, I love sparrows: their happy chirps, and perky presence always makes me smile. The featured bird and this younger version above nest in a creeping vine on a nearby carwash. Although, I am in no way an expert, they fit the description of House Sparrows.
This Chipping sparrow, with the red crown, nests in a neighbour’s bush, and came out to pose for me in the rock garden.
Look how sweet this Song Sparrow is! Nature’s artistry is masterful.
Lately, I’ve been paying more attention to the more common birds, discovering they really are quite uncommon.

I love birds. They accompany me when I walk in nature, in woods and hills though I might not see them, they are there to make me feel home.

Thank you. Too many years housebound has made me hungry for what nature has to offer – a bit of balm each day that I can get out.

All birds are mystical … at least arousing mystical longings in me … the feathers! the wings!
