It's not the first time this little clay angel has appeared on my stream. It was given to me when I first arrived in New Mexico. Handmade of clay at one of the local pueblos here.

The nestlings keep begging and the parents keep foraging. This one has a few bugs and will soon head down to the nest in long grass on the ground.
Hope I got the ID. right lol !
Thank you very much for your kind comments, favorites and looking and please stay safe !
Taken at my friend's ranch near Quesnel, British Columbia, Canada.
A summertime leftover taken before the autumn deluge had begun in September (while it was still officially summer, mind you).
I was sitting down relaxing on the ground last June. The grass was sprinkled with an array of wild flowers in an old clear cut. The area at hand was replete with new growth like willows, hardhack, and young alders. It was there that I found this cautious but curious fellow.
And, I might add...an overabundance of mosquitoes!
Clay-coloured Sparrow
possibly a chipping sparrow----again, not sure !!!
I am not usually this uncertain identifying birds in my area, but would appreciate help in this case. If it is indeed a clay coloured sparrow, then it is a lifer for me !!!
They are so common here that I take them for granted. Two days ago I met a birder from Nova Scotia who came here specifically to see this one among other bird species they don't see on the east coast. A look at a breeding range map shows that they are not common at all east of the Canadian prairie regions and south of the most northern central US states.
I posted a link to their song for my contacts who live in places where they don't see or hear them.

The Clay-colored Sparrow’s buzzy song is a signature sound of the vast shrublands of the northern prairie and Great Plains. Though they’re not brightly colored, their pale tones and overall clean, crisp markings help set them apart from other sparrows. Their numbers have slowly declined over the past 40 years.
Clays Corner, the FORMER HOME OF The Possum Drop was an annual New Year's Eve event in which an opossum is lowered at midnight. The event began in 1990 in Brasstown, North Carolina and was held for 24years it ended in 2018 ...PITA made a fuss eventhough someone reportedly took good care of the possums (we never went to them)

Just an old fashioned gas station - It is a quaint spot just down the road from the John C Campbell Folk Center . The real fun is on Friday night when people gather for mountain music in the back room of the ole general store
Shot at the Floral Exhibition Show organised by the Horticultural Association of West Bengal. There I found a few Potters using the opportunity to display their art work. These Clay wonders are used by a lot of people to decorate their houses.
With a colorful locomotive consist up front, an eastbound Burlington Northern Santa Fe freight waits for a meet with the westbound Amtrak California Zephyr at Clay, Colorado, on September 6, 2001.
Bentonitic clay concretions that measured between 6” and 10” across were found in a layer of the Lower Cretaceous Thermopolis Shale east of the Causeway on US 14A near Kane, Wyoming. Many of them had iron oxide stains. Most of the oxides were distributed in circular bands as seen here. Beneath the weathered surface the concretions are encased in black, organic rich, fissile shale.
Clay's Covered Bridge, built in 1890, is located in Little Buffalo State Park. It was moved one mile west from its original location to its present location in 1971.
