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

American Tree Sparrow (Spizelloides arborea) is hardy northern sparrow with plump body, small bill and long, thin tail. Note rusty cap and rusty (not black) eyeline, gray head and unstreaked grayish breast with dark smudge in center.

** Some very wonderful shots posted lately by my contacts of very colourful exotic birds. I cannot compete with those sadly, but here is a charming little House Sparrow sitting on the Camellia in the garden

Zealandia Ecosanctuary, Wellington, New Zealand. As few as 100 House Sparrows (Passer domesticus) were released by the early settlers into New Zealand between 1866 and 1871 intended to reduce crop-eating insect pests. However they are more interested in the crops.

Taken at Barton Marina, Staffordshire.

I found these little feathers on the grass that were plucked out together during a fight between two house sparrows while I was visiting my friend. The screeching of them called our attention but luckily they stopped fighting then went their own way.

One of my favorite Sparrows.

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.

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.

Male and Female house Sparrows.

I found this cute little sparrow chick with a funny hairdo in one of the Moscow parks ... he fell out of the nest.

What to do? How can I help this baby?

The fact is that in many birds (primarily small passerines), the chicks leave the nest as half-fledged fledglings. During this period of life, they still do not know how to fly, but they are already actively mastering the surrounding space. The parents did not abandon this chick, but simply flew away for food. Of course, as long as you stand next to the chick, they will not make themselves felt. Savvy birds can check after you leave that it was you considered there, they will find and kill the chick. Hence the conclusion: do not "save" everything that catches your eye. If the chick is dry, warm, active, well-feathered, then it does not need help.

And if the situation raises concerns? What to do first:

1. Quickly and carefully inspect the place where you found the chick, remember what it looks like. In some cases, this will help determine the type of bird.

2. Pick up the chick (with gloves) and bring it home as soon as possible.

3. On the way, inspect the chick for damage. If the bird has clearly visible fractures of the legs, wings, contusion (how to define it a little below), then you cannot do without a veterinarian. It is highly advisable to seek help from a veterinarian who specializes in the treatment of birds (unfortunately, such specialists are extremely rare). If there are no obvious signs of a fracture, and the general condition of the chick is satisfactory, just provide good conditions - nature will do its job and he will recover.

4. Provide the chick with food as soon as possible, it is even more important than equipping him with a house.

What did I do in this case? The kid is absolutely healthy and active, but I saw how a passerby man almost stepped on this chick and I brought a man from the administration of this park to this place, he promised to do everything necessary. I do not know anything about the fate of the bird, I have never visited this park again.
