Song Sparrow


One bird species that we have with us year-round in our suburban backyard is the Song Sparrow.  It's nice to hear these birds sing every spring-  I'm not sure if the same birds stay year round, or if during the winter, ours fly south and are replaced by birds from further north. I took this image the last week of April, although it has an orange, fall like glow to it.  We can thank that color to a neighbor's crimson king cultivar of Norway Maple.
