The Chipping Sparrow (Spizella passerina) is a slender, fairly long-tailed sparrow with a medium-sized bill that is a bit small for a sparrow. Learning the shape of this classic Spizella sparrow is a key step in mastering sparrow identification.

Please correct me, if I'm wrong. Seen at Attwater Prairie

Wikipedia: The song sparrow (Melospiza melodia) is a medium-sized New World sparrow. Among the native sparrows in North America, it is easily one of the most abundant, variable and adaptable species.

Though a habitat generalist, the song sparrow favors brushland and marshes, including salt marshes across most of Canada and the United States. They also thrive in human dominated areas such as in suburbs, agricultural fields, and along roadsides. Permanent residents of the southern half of their range, northern populations of the song sparrow migrate to the southern United States or Mexico during winter and intermingle with the native, non-migratory population. The song sparrow is a very rare vagrant to western Europe, with a few recorded in Great Britain and Norway.

Conservation status: Least Concern

Saltmarsh sparrow. The first edition of "Sibley's Guide to Birds" (2000) calls this species the Saltmarsh Sharp-tailed Sparrow. Previous to 1995 it was named the Sharp-tailed Sparrow. It was split into two species, the Saltmarsh Sharp-tailed sparrows and Nelson's Sharp-tailed sparrows. Eventually "sharp-tailed" was dropped and the names became Saltmarsh sparrow and Nelson's sparrow. I only bring this up to illustrate how easy it is to add a bird to your life list when sitting on the toilet reading a magazine.

There is something about birds singing on barbed wire that always appeals to me, especially now.

It is North America's largest sparrow and the only songbird that breeds in Canada and nowhere else in the world. It is Canada's only endemic breeding bird.

Their breeding habitat is the north part of central Canada. In the winter they migrate to the Great Plains of the United States, from southern South Dakota to central Texas.

Spring encounter with a male white-throated sparrow in Anoka County, central MN. This species does not usually nest in central MN.. migrates to northern MN & Canada for that activity.

Visitors: Invited to peruse my photostream & albums for various seasonal images of wildlife/scenics/florals.

Wikipedia: The white-crowned sparrow (Zonotrichia leucophrys) is a species of passerine bird native to North America. A medium-sized member of the New World sparrow family, this species is marked by a grey face and black and white streaking on the upper head. It breeds in brushy areas in the taiga and tundra of the northernmost parts of the continent and in the Rocky Mountains and Pacific coast. While southerly populations in the Rocky Mountains and coast are largely resident, the breeding populations of the northerly part of its range are migratory and can be found as wintering or passage visitors through most of North America south to central Mexico.

Finally after years of looking I found a Black-throated Sparrow!

A tough little Sparrow. I first photograhed this Song Sparrow three weeks ago. Since then, it has survived record-breaking cold temperatures here while I was safe and warm in my house.

Song Sparrows should be way south by now, but this individual stayed. It seems healthy and active. Kudos to the folks who keep the feeders in this park full all winter.

I will keep monitoring the condition of this little Sparrow over the winter.

Hermitage Park. Edmonton, Alberta.

A welcome sight after a long snowstorm, clear skies, the birds were all singing.

Due to my fascination with bokeh, I usually shoot wide open. The problem with that is that very little of the image is in focus and due to the quick moving nature of my subjects, most of the time the wrong part ends up being in focus. Sometimes, however, lady luck or whoever is in charge of these things bestows a smile on you. That was the case here, because beak, forehead and eye are exactly what I was aiming for. Would have been nice if the feet had been as sharp as well, but I suppose you could make the argument that they portray a bit of a sense of motion. (That’s an excuse, really). Oh, and what is my female sparrow buddy levitating over? That would be the metal flower, courtesy of my daughter.

IMHO,one of the toughest sparrows to get off the ground.Several trips,and at least 20 hours,to get a handful of shots!

Thanks for your comments and faves,they are truly appreciated.

The house sparrow is an opportunistic bird of towns and cities, parks, gardens and farmland. House sparrows feed on a variety of foods, including buds, grains, nuts and scraps, and will visit birdtables and feeders. They live in colonies and nest in holes or crevices in buildings, among Ivy or other bushes, and in nestboxes; they use a variety of materials to make their nests. Both parents will incubate the three to five eggs and raise the young. House sparrows are residents in the UK, but may disperse from their breeding grounds to feed on nearby farmland and grassland in winter.
