Little Brown Birds

Two little brown birds. Two different species
This one is an Indigo Bunting
And the one on the left is a House Sparrpw
They're everywhere, they're everywhere!

Carolina Wren,
This year's hatch I believe,
based on the little bit of yellow at the base of the bill, and its behavior,
 all begging baby flutter and very tame.


Song Sparrow, also a youngster. We seem to have pretty much all the
Song Sparrows in the world, gathered here at the farm,
and almost every one of them has a different feather pattern.
They drive me nuts.

Very sweet - those LBG's :)
And this: "...and almost every one of them has a different feather pattern."
Amen!

Jan, now there's a thought. lol

Cathy, Song Sparrows truly drive me nuts. We have dozens of them. They have broods. Dozens of broods. The babies look like every exotic sparrow in the book, all sorts of yellow facial patterns, odd stripes etc. And yet....they are always just Song Sparrows. lol I so want a Lincolns. Or a Swamp. Or anything but still more Songs...

Linda, kinda quiet now, as all the babies are fledged, but there was plenty of singing earlier in the summer.

Cathy, lol, I actually enjoy them and I am delighted that we have so many. Nests everywhere, literally dozens of fledglings. They just frustrate me on ID. So many feather and song variations. It is pretty much...if you aren't positive that it is something else...if you have to ask...it is always a song!
