As the Missus and I went walking down one of the trails in the Dutch Gap Conservation Area, this White-throated Sparrow (Zonotrichia albicollis) hopped up out of some underbrush just off the trail and perched on a branch, right at eye level.
She posed so pretty for me and made sure there were some colorful maple leaves in the background. But it was a bit awkward. I mean, we had just met and I wasn't sure if we should tell her about the food stuck to her bill. We were polite, pretended we didn't notice and never mentioned it.
