So I'm very curious about our resident sparrow and started to research it online. I know there are different varieties of every animal on the planet, but my gosh, there are a zillion kinds of sparrows. I'm almost certain that our friend is a song sparrow. Here is an amazing page that tells you EVERYTHING you would want to know about them, including a clip of their bird song. Wow. When you listen to it it's like spring's arrived.

My other project is to take its picture. Considering that it stays perched on the bush for a good 45 minutes right in front of the window, this should not be hard (once I get the camera and am sitting on the couch).
So stay tuned for more sparrow updates.

Good Morning!
ReplyDeleteIs your sparrow singing?
Mom & I watched a great movie; if you haven't already seen it, you should... It's not a comedy, but it's hopeful: The Lives of Others.
Have a wonderful weekend! =]
Good morning to you too!
ReplyDeleteThe window is closed, so I can't tell how much singing is going on.
I liked that movie too. 2 German-themed movies I'd like to see are "Good" and "Valkyrie." Not sure how hopeful there are...
