Saturday Haiku: Sparrow's Feather

the still morning air

suspends a downy feather

as sparrows take flight

 for every seed
sparrows take at the feeder
three fall to the ground

content to forage
a towhee finds on the ground
what sparrows have dropped

Sparrows Foraging

Some sparrows foraging in the clover. You can see one of them take off after a bumblebee, then watch another combing through the grasses. If you turn on the sound, you'll hear birds from all around the yard and in the trees.

Afternoon Fun with Sparrows

Sheltering-in-place has given me the opportunity to do plenty of birdwatching in my bird-friendly back yard. Here are some sparrows enjoying some time in the birdbath. Turn on the sound and you will hear the Carolina wren in the trees above.

their voices proclaim the day

all are reassured
