Spring Has Spung-ed


With all this light and warmth, even a curmudgeonly old and bitt...,er, disdainful bastard like me can't help but feel buoyed by winter's being left behind (even if we just had the winter that never was).

The trees are in bud and that means lunch away from the bird feeder for many -- snapped this wee fellow (gal?) just down the street from my building.

Happy Spring!

PS -- I fully expect a snowfall before May arrives.

I think for the common sparrow, BROWN IS a colour!

But I think you're right, the pic is of a female; the males are no more colourful, but the brown is in more interesting patterns. That's assuming the pic is of a common house sparrow (Passer domesticus), which I think it is...

Happy Spring to you, too. But that bird looks dead a little or I need to get my eyes checked. :-)

No Shigeki, that's just a curmudgeonly old bird that's scowling.

I can't help myself, birds of a feather........ Sorry heipel :->
