Incoming!

Although the buffet was crowded there was room for one more.

Incoming!

Handsome.

I feed songbirds year round, though less diligently from late spring through autumn.

This handsome House Sparrow visited yesterday for some sunflower seed.

Buffet.

House Sparrows feed at the sunflower seed buffet.

Not easy.

House Sparrows are not clinging birds.

Extracting seeds from an upside-down sunflower seed head is not easy when you are not a clinging bird.

Pops up

A House Sparrow pops up for a look to see if the Cooper’s Hawk, which attempted to ambush birds at the feeder, has moved on.

Splish splash

Two House Sparrows bathe on a mild fall day. A parking lot puddle is quite acceptable.
