The brown/gray variations of color on the female house sparrow are seen in the darker brown on the top of her head and by her eyes. She has a brown patterned chest and a tan colored beak. Her feathers on her wings and back are barely noticeable. Filtered sunlight is shining through the remaining leaves on a nearby tree. Blurred background is green with some streaks of brown. This is bare branches and green leaves still on branches behind the bird.

#Grosbeaks are #Finches as I recently learned, so this one of the rose-breasted variety is cracking open a sunflower seed in celebration of making it to today’s #BirdOfTheDay ALT theme. #birds #backyardbird

When they first met...
Female and male house sparrows.
#sparrows #birds #birdwatching #backyardbird #gardenbird #nature #photography
A single branch, without any leaves, sticks out the side of a tree. This branch is stretching horizontally in the photo. Two small birds, various shades of brown are on the branch. There is some distance between the two of them. The bird at the left of the photo is the female and the bird to the right (closest to the tree) is the male. The female is looking at the male. He appears standoffish as he is looking away from the female. The background is blurred green from the leave on the branches surrounding the sparrows.

A metal heron garden ornament has become a new perch for the sparrows. They stop there until a spot opens up at the feeder. There are three sparrows - one on the shoulder, one on the beak and one on the head of the garden ornament.

A handsome devil. Male house sparrow is modeling his patterned feathers on his wings and back. I think he might have a bit of an attitude.

What is that? Is it really? Could it be? The sun!
Female house sparrow surprised to see the sun. After almost two weeks of cloudy, gray, rainy days - it was a nice to have the sun out. A pleasant surprise. 😃

Some of the leaves have fallen, so more of the sky is showing. The sparrow's back is to the camera, so the beautiful brown/black markings on the bird can be seen. her eyes are bright black and she has an almost cream colored beak.

Friends chillin' and seem to be enjoying the day.

Middle of the photo, sitting on a dirty white fence are two female house sparrows. These are small birds. On the top and right edge of the photo are green leaves from the trees by the fence. The way the morning sun was filtered through the leaves of the tree almost makes it look like a spotlight is shining on the birds.
