The Sparrows have arrived for winter! I’ve topped up all my feeders so they’ll have plenty to eat, but they seem to love the new block of seed and millworms I added.
Here’s I believe a Female White-crowned Sparrow waiting for her turn at the feeder.
I hope you’re all having a great week!

LOVE this … definitely one for your top 2019 images!!!
Oh, thank you so much, Denise!
How lovely!
She’s a beauty! Great shot!
Thank you so much, Joey!
She is so stunning set among all that snow. I love sparrows!! I’m am sure they are thankful for the food. Lovely capture, Deborah!
Thank you so much, Amy!🙏🏻😄
I think we have these here and they love to hang out in the bushes right outside our dining room window. I put some bread crumbs out for them today and they’re taking full advantage of the free food. 🙂 We had just a dusting of snow this morning, enough for me to feel happy, although I’d love an inch or two.

I think they can be found all over North America at different times of the year. Your area shows them being there while migrating from one area to another.
All this snow melted! Only the Carson Range/Eastern Sierras still have snow. There’s only a small patch left in our front yard. I hear that’s normal for this valley. Like you I’m waiting for the next dusting or dump. 😀
I love everything about your photo, Deborah! The sparrow even looks like she is patiently waiting her turn. You capture such beauty! 💕
Oh, thank you so much, Erica!
How cute! Enjoy your winter Sparrows, I know they will love you and your feeders!
Thank you so much, Donna! So far I’m loving it here and the sparrow love the new block I’m about ready to put in a 3rd one! They finish it off in a week!
So pretty
Thank you! 😀
Beautiful photo Deborah!! We just had snow overnight. I like how your little bird seemed to pose for you! ❤️
Thank you so much, Jill! I bet it’s pretty there now with snow.
Yes, I posted a photo on IG tonight of the tree in our backyard. 🎄💕
I saw it! It’s so pretty.🌲🥰
I saw that! It’s so pretty!
What a sweet little bird. Wonderful winter image, so beautifully framed.
Thank you so much, Janis! She posed quite well didn’t she. 😀
That’s perfectly framed! That scene really says “winter” 🙂
It felt like winter for a week, but this snow is all gone now. It rained and melted it all or almost all of it down here in the valley and the lower Pinenut Mountains.
She was sweet and curious, but her waiting spot was perfect. Thank you so much, Dan!
You’re welcome. Most of our snow has melted as well.
No Mount Maddie? Or is still too early for that?
We have a Maddie mound, but she’s not interested. She migrated to her cot last year. We still occasionally play in the snow, but she doesn’t run up on the mound. I think her favorite outdoor “activity” has become sitting on “her” porch and watching the world go by.
She’s mellowing with age perhaps? Her porch and cot are quite nice though so, who could blame her! 😀
I think she is mellowing. Run around and lay on the snow – OR – wear my fancy new coat and sit on a cushion on my cot in the sun ???
I know which I’d choose! 😂
Nice of her to stop in the middle so you had a perfectly framed shot. 🙂
It was indeed! I’m so glad I thought to hand this feeder low. I keep hoping I’ll get a photo of one bird on the ground in the snow, but they’re too quick. Maybe one day. 😀
Oh! What a gorgeous photo, Deborah. The perfect winter image. Hugs on the wing!
Thank you so much, Teagan!
I’ve never seen a white sparrow before. Beautiful.
Thank you so much, John! They are lovely little song birds.
