Song Sparrow
What did the Mummy movie director say when the final scene was done?
Ok, that’s a wrap.
Interesting Fact: Some scientists think that Song Sparrows of wet, coastal areas have darker plumage as a defense against feather mites and other decay agents that thrive in humid climates. The darker plumage contains more of a pigment called melanin, which makes feathers tougher and harder to degrade than lighter, unpigmented feathers.

What a beautiful little bird! I love the stripy markings and it’s delicate look. I’ve never heard of Song Sparrows… (not that I know a lot about birds anyway though) are they a special breed in your area or are they found everywhere?
Great photo too… I have already discovered just how hard it is to photograph birds, mine are lots of out of focus pictures any maybe a few good shots. Well done!
Thank you very much, they are found all over United States and Canada. But not a lot of people pay too much attention to the sparrows they somewhat similar to each other. I appreciate you stopping by and checking out my work. Thank you again and Happy Blogging! 🙂

Great Colour Scheme !! I understand why this little bird is not often noticed – he works in so beautifully with his surroundings.
Yes he does get good camouflage around this time of the year. Thank you very much for stopping by and sharing your thoughts with us. Happy Blogging! 🙂
