A Friendly Java Sparrow - Vancouver, British Columbia
This is a photo of a Java sparrow. It is also know as Java finch, Java rice bird, and Java rice sparrow. The bird is native to Java, Bali, and Indonesia, though large populations can be found on many Pacific islands. I often photograph them on Maui, where they are fairly common. However, you normally do not see many shots posted on Flickr. Recently, several Java sparrows have been added to the Bloedel aviary, where I took this shot. As usual, the light was fairly weak in the aviay, though I did manage to catch one ray of sunlight. The photo was taken in January 2013, with my trusty Olympus digital camera. Enjoy.
