Description
A female house sparrow that got close enough to me while I was lying still. It flew off just as I pressed down on the shutter release. Hope you like it. Comments always appreciated.House Sparrow (Passer domesticus) Abundant on farms and in cities and suburbs. The male is recognized by his black bib and bill and white cheeks. The female is often confused with other sparrows or female buntings; the unstreaked dingy breast, the bold buffy eye line, and the streaked back are the best field marks. Song is a long series of monotonous musical chirps.
