It’s the first day of the City Nature Challenge!

This weekend, try to observe as many wild plants and animals in your neighborhood as you can, especially in urban areas.

Here are some #birds I spotted on a late afternoon walk today, including a sparrow, one of many many finches, two doves, and what I think might be two blackbirds (yes, including the gray one).

Two finches spotted in the empty greenbelt below a line of transmission towers.

Two finches spotted in the empty greenbelt below a line of transmission towers. They’re several meters apart, though I took the photos from the same spot on the sidewalk, and the female chased a sparrow away when she landed.

Also you can really see the difference between the “look at me!” coloring on the male finch and the camouflage coloring on the female.

Some more house finches and a hummingbird.

Some more house finches and a hummingbird. Hummingbirds always look weird to me when they’re perched.

I must have seen over a dozen house finches on a very short walk today. I assume there’s a nest or several in the area.
