I heard a new (for me) sparrow call at Sunset Beach, Cape May on a rainy, overcast day. Most of the time the bird stayed hidden in the brush, but once it jumped up for a quick look. I was having trouble with the id until Philip posted a beautiful image of one recently that looked exactly like this. The all pink bill sealed the deal. (Sorry for the quality.....I'm using the new bird pass for this lifer)

Pequena inseto, (que NÃO É uma libélula) capturado em pleno vôo.
Poderia ter feito um crop, mas achei que perderia a sensação de vôo.
É um Hoverfly, ou Sphaerophoria scripta, da família do Syrphidae
The field sparrow (Spizella pusilla) is a small New World sparrow in the family Emberizidae. It is about 140 mm (6 in) long and weighs about 12.5 g (0.4 oz). The head is grey with a rust-coloured crown, white eye-ring and pink bill. The upper parts are brown streaked with black and buff, the breast is buff, the belly is white and the tail is forked. There are two different colour morphs, one being greyer and the other more rufous.

Still adding gray-brown sparrow species to the list.....amazed by how many there are. This one was tougher to catch as it sat still for long periods low in big clumps of grasses. It had a really unique way of feeding where it would fly to the top of a grass stem and use its weight to ride the stem to the ground where it could hold the stem and pick off the seeds. (With warmer weather they add insects to their diet.) It's bright white eye ring and pink bill help with the id and it truly blends with its surroundings, making for a busy, but to me, cute view. They are found over most of NA minus the west and south FL. Unlike some other sparrows....they are shy with people and it's felt their numbers may be declining due to suburb expansion where they will not nest.

I severely cropped this view to better show the slim body and long-tail that the previous shot lacked. This is much more how I remember the overall feel of this sparrow along with its plain face look and all pink bill. (American Tree Sparrows are so similar!)

Conhecida mais popularmente como dorme-dorme.
Quando tocada, ela sente uma ameaça e drena a água das folhas e ramificações, murchando.

When touched, it feels a threat and drain water from the leaves and branches, withering.

Late afternoon light on a handsome Field Sparrow, part of a small flock of mixed sparrows. I thought about cloning out some of the branches in photoshop but I felt they framed the sparrow as well as creating leading lines. Loop 12 Boat Launch / wetlands area, Dallas, Texas, 13 January 2024
Voltando a ativa por ake.... eu acho hehehe
sem tempo de fotografar mesmo...
essa foi uma das de hoje... =D
Esse relógio eu ganhei da minha avó há uns 7 anos e foi do mêu avô.
Achei ele aqui nas minhas coisas e logo imaginei a foto desta maneira como ficou...
Essa casinha praticamente me chamou para fazer a foto. Na rua 2 em Cruzeiro, ela chama atenção diante do ambiente do local. É uma casa grande, mas que está aparentemente abandonada e bastante deteriorada por conta do tempo.
A postagem foi tão simultânea quanto os cliques, haha!

Essa foto eu tirei em 2003. Esse " McDonnalds" ficava às margens da rodovia que liga Tiete a Piracicaba. Hoje infelizmente não existe mais.
Trilhos da Estação de Cruzeiro/SP. Alto contraste sepiado, pra criar uma composição diferente a um patrimönio que está sumindo...
Foto tirada da janela do prédio de um amigo meu no bairro Aquarios, em São José dos Campos. Já tinha feito uma vez, mas agora usei a pequenina Casio Z750...
PS: Para conseguir esse céu mesclado, a foto foi feita com nada menos que 25 seg. de exposição... ;-)
No fim da tarde, um beija-flor flagrado descansando no varal...
(antes que comentem, se eu deixasse o varal reto o pássaro ia ficar tombado, viu?) =D
