House Sparrow male fluffed out

This nonbreeding male House Sparrow was seen in winter in Calgary, Alberta, Canada — the season is suggested by muted tones in both the bird’s plumage and the setting. Another sign is that this individual has fluffed out its feathers to give added insulation against the cold temperature.
