A nice comment Neil. I also enjoy sparrows. There are several different species and it gives me a challenge to see if I can correctly identify them. Such busy little birds.
I love sparrows, but don't see many of them around here these days. The droughts we've been having has bought many of the larger birds in closer to the coast and many of the smaller bird species are driven out. Where they go is anyone's guess. Regardless, I always make me smile when I do see them.
