Here's an SOOC of a trio of female English Sparrows. The prominent yellow on their beaks indicates that they are juveniles. (The one showing her "birdy butt" indicates that she is camera shy. LOL)
Greetings! I'm from Connecticut (USA) Photography is one of my lifelong passions (others including gardening, woodworking, history, and being a part...
Wonderful capture. The Cape Sparrow are very common in our garden. A pair has recently hatched a young male and I love watching them feed the little one, through the window while I'm washing dishes.
@nicolecampbell Hello again, Nic, and thanks for the inquiry about my hand. Honestly, it's all been a lot more extreme than I thought it would be; The surgery was very invasive with several incisions that rendered my whole hand unusable. But pretty much everything works now except the damn thumb! I've been to physical therapy, (OMG! I'd rather chew glass!!) and have a long way to go - 4 months before the tissue returns to normal, longer still for the thumb to get back its strength, and mobilty, etc. In the meantime, I just have to cope with constant discomfort, sometimes pain. BUT, I try to keep thinking, "It's all for the good." There, now you know my "sob story"; aren't you glad you asked LOL! Hope your Holiday Season becomes more festive each day, Les xx
@deens Hi Nadine, great to hear from you. I'm so glad that you (and the boys?) have such a miraculous sight to watch......so endearing.......so cheerful. I forgot that you're welcoming Spring; we're entering Winter. Hmmmm, what then shall I photograph?? :-D Be very well, Les xx
Like this one. But wonder why there are so few sparrows now compared to when I was a boy. Back then they seemed to be really numerous. Today you hardly see them except in occasional groups. Seems sad. Great picture. Take care with your hand.
