American Tree Sparrow

This is a bird that winter's here in Indiana.

 

 

For some reason, I don't see many Sparrows,

but I think this one is especially beautiful.

 

 

 

 

 

I think I was getting "the look!"

 

 

Or did that mean "the food is almost gone?"

 

Have a "Blessed Day!"

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

American Tree Sparrow

It is a cold, blustery and snowy day today.

I was surprised when I saw

something different outside my window.

 

 

At first I thought it might be a

Chipping Sparrow;

however, my bird book indicates

because of the spot in the middle of it's chest,

it is an American Tree Sparrow.

 

 

 

Apparently they like to visit Indiana

in the Winter.



Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow

And it SNOWED all day!

These three little ones, the Titmouse, the Nuthatch and the Dark-eyed Junco, were just resting till it was their turn once again at the feeder.

The Downy's love the suet but were a little impatient about taking turns.

"Can't you hurry up....I'm getting hungry!"

"Where did that seed go?  It was here a minute ago."

The little Junco said,"Let me show you how to find those seeds."

"I'm not called a Snowbird for nothing!"

"Now I look like I just did a milk commercial."

This little American Tree Sparrow seemed happy to have found the feeder.

                      Then it quickly flew away with the wind and snow.

The Redbellied Woodpecker flew in, and everyone else scattered.

The little Carolina Wren finally had a chance to eat.

"Oh dear, my beak seems too short to get to the good stuff."

The squirrel couldn't watch all those birds coming and going without having a little bit for himself.

Way out in the forest the Pilated Woodpecker found something that pleased him.

It was a GOOD day.....a SNOWY day.....a BEAUTIFUL day!
