Sunrise with The Sparrows

Brrr!
Wonder what it would be like to have a coat of feathers that you could poof up to ward off the cold Arctic temperatures? Guess you would have to be a bird, a Sparrow in this case, to give an answer.


Here Comes the Sun!
Sun was just breaking the eastern horizon as I raised the window blind by my coffee spot in the sun room. Patiently sitting in the dormant hibiscus bush were several puffed up sparrows waiting on the sun. Fancy That! Looks like a photo opportunity in the making!


Let's Eat!
All excited over the new food supply that had magically appeared overnight, it suddenly became a 'free for all' at the feeder. Greedy little beggars at best! I guess they think it will be their last bite!

    1. Thanks Tex!
      Charlotte provides the birds with food all year long. The seed bell, with the black sunflower seeds, is actually for the cardinals. Loose feed for the sparrows and others are in the other feeders around the yard. Might even have a Red Cardinal pic in a future post feeding at the bell.

  2. Sparrows look so commonplace until you see a close-up like you provided in your clear photos;they have beautiful markings. I love sparrows because they are so adaptable.

    1. Definitely a lot of different varieties that seem to get along with each other.

  3. The first two pictures came out real nice, good lighting and I like the composition too.

    Sure start seeing a bunch of different birds come to visit when you put out some feed for them, especially when the weather is cold like it is now.

  4. Nice captures! It looks like a good morning for you! I haven't seen a sunlight for the last three days. Hopefully, it warm enough to melt all the ice around here today.
