Wintering sparrows are getting here in big numbers. The Wakarusa Wetlands have been very active over the last few weeks. I’ve been seeing song sparrows, white-throated sparrows, white-crowned sparrows, and more. I’m sure the juncos are right around the corner. Click on pictures to enlarge.

these birds always make me smile! i can’t believe you caught one with raised feathers on the head. i never see that in these birds. this may be, however, because i usually see them outside the windows of the house and they are swarming busily for food. wonderful!
