Two of about a dozen #sparrows I saw out in front of the office building on a short walk this afternoon. At least six were flitting about in or below a jacaranda tree, some better camouflaged than others, plus a few others scattered around the lot.

I’ve got to admit I still get a kick out of editing bird photos in Aviary.

House Sparrow: Super-Blurry on a Wire

House Sparrow

On iNaturalist

Perfect example: I posted this super-blurry photo of a bird on a wire across the street, zoomed optically as far as I could and then just cropped. Within 15 minutes, 4 people had identified it as not just a sparrow, but specifically a house sparrow!

Meanwhile the entry for the horseweed from last week still hasn’t had anyone stop in to confirm or correct the ID.
