This song sparrow was singing away from this perch, begging to be photographed.

La nuit a mille yeux

La noche tiene mil ojos

夜晚有千眼

De nacht heeft duizend ogen

Die Nacht hat tausend Augen

Η νύχτα έχει χιλιάδες μάτια

La notte ha mille occhi

夜には千の目がある

रात में एक हजार आंखें हैं

Usiku Una Mia elfu

  

“I've lived my life walking through a dream

For I knew that I would find this moment supreme

A night of bliss and tender sighs

And the smiling down of a thousand eyes

A night of bliss and tender sighs

And the smiling down of a thousand eyes

The Night has a Thousand Eyes !”

Scientific name: Turdus philomelos.

 

Famous for smashing open snails and for the sweet song which gives this bird its name. The song thrush was once a common sight in UK woodland, but is sadly in decline. Info: Woodland Trust.

 

Many thanks to people who view or comment on my photos.

Solitude is not so silent.

It has a song.

A song you cant hear.

 

Language... has created the word "loneliness" to express the pain of being alone. And it has created the word "solitude" to express the glory of being alone. by Paul Tillich

A pretty Song Sparrow (Melospiza melodia) eating the seeds of the light coloured grass in this image.

In the deep fall

don’t you imagine the leaves think how

comfortable it will be to touch

the earth instead of the

nothingness of air and the endless

freshets of wind? And don’t you think

the trees themselves, especially those with mossy,

warm caves, begin to think

 

of the birds that will come — six, a dozen — to sleep

inside their bodies? And don’t you hear

the goldenrod whispering goodbye,

the everlasting being crowned with the first

tuffets of snow? The pond

vanishes, and the white field over which

the fox runs so quickly brings out

its blue shadows. And the wind pumps its

bellows. And at evening especially,

the piled firewood shifts a little,

longing to be on its way.

- Mary Oliver

This Song Sparrow posed for me so nicely, I took a few shots then moved on, trying not to disturb it too much!

This song sparrow was singing his heart out as song sparrows are wont to do. They winter here in the Phoenix area, but I'm guessing they'll vamoose soon.

Song Sparrow in b & w...I have always tried to stay away from close-up or portrait photography and rather take my time and compose my shots with the surrounding, foreground (which I use constantly) and background, when I like what I see. Unfortunately, the opportunity doesn't come so often and most of the time a portrait is better. I am also more and more inclined to black and white wildlife photography, I find that I see more details that way.... after all it is how birds see the world in black and white... that's interesting! Here is a Song Sparrow I turned into black and white.

This song sparrow perched nicely in a tree, singing out. Once again, I had opportunities to adjust the background. This color pattern reminded me of fall.

One of the gifts from nature!

This song sparrow was calling out next to the path by the river, asking for a photo. As this area has been populated primarily by house sparrows lately, I was happy to oblige!

Dire Straits - Private Investigations

It's a mystery to me, the game commences

For the usual fee, plus expenses

Confidential information, it's a diary

This is my investigation, it's not a public inquiry

 

I go checking out the reports, digging up the dirt

You get to meet all sorts in this line of work

Treachery and treason, there's always an excuse for it

And when I find the reason I still can't get used to it

 

And what have you got at the end of the day?

What have you got to take away?

A bottle of whiskey and a new set of lies

Blinds on the window and a pain behind the eyes

Scarred for life, no compensation

Private investigations

  

Studiwork by Stella and Gustaf.

  

Every morning and evening I hear the songs.

"There is something more important than logic: it is the imagination."

Alfred Hitchcock

 

I remember that I had this vinyl album, I don't remember if they had given it to me or

it belonged to some brother among many:) At the time, I didn't have any translators, only the vocabulary of the English language. But who was going to translate? It was complicated and the lyrics of the songs weren't like "The pen is on the table". But the melody of this piece and the nostalgia it conveyed did not leave too many doubts. Some songs also speak without words...

 

This is a very interesting cover, in my opinion

Song Sparrow (Melospiza melodia)

 

Emigrant Lake - Jackson County - Oregon - USA

 

Habitat : Open Woodlands

Food : Insects

Nesting : Shrub

Behavior : Ground Forager

Conservation : Low Concern

 

"Like many other songbirds, the male Song Sparrow uses its song to attract mates as well as defend its territory. Laboratory studies have shown that the female Song Sparrow is attracted not just to the song itself, but to how well it reflects the ability of the male to learn. Males that used more learned components in their songs and that better matched their song tutors (the adult bird they learned their songs from) were preferred."

- Cornell University Lab of Ornithology

This song sparrow was settled in one of the trees by the river. I normally find them by their calls, but this one had stopped calling by the time I arrived.
