Sparrows

There are so many species of sparrows that they have a reputation of being "difficult", difficult to see well and difficult to identify.

  1. Precioso gorrión, un ave que convive con nosotros en las ciudades y que antes era mucho más abundante. Me gusta la última fotografía con esas cañas reflejándose en las aguas.
    Un abrazo,

  2. They are ready for winter.
    Light and charming tones.

  3. I am afraid I am among those who find sparrows "difficult." To me, Kaya, they fall into two categories: bigger ones and smaller ones.

    On the other hand, your "still life" of Farmington Bay in November sends my memory and my imagination into overdrive. I recall wading and paddling a canoe through such places and loving every moment of it, and I imagine myself doing it again in each of the four seasons and loving it and feeling absolutely at home.

    Superb photography, Kaya ....

  4. Son muy simpáticas estas aves, cuando desayuno en alguna terraza de un bar, siempre están revoloteando alrededor en espera de que caiga una migaja, yo con disimulo, le hecho alguna miguita de pan. Lo que es muy fácil distiguir el macho de la hembra.

  10. Es una gorrión precioso fotografiado de manera excelente. La pena es que están desapareciendo, sobre todo en las ciudades. En invierno lo pasan mal porque escasea su alimentación.
    Un abrazo.
