First as I went in the backyard there were Dark-eyed Juncos warbling and calling. Although they was frightened when they saw me and flew away. Then some House Sparrows came feeding on seeds but they were throwing seeds everywhere! They left a big mess and I have to clean it up. Why do birds throw seeds everywhere? But soon quarreling male sparrows came flying here and the rest of the sparrows joined the fight. After they left a Song Sparrow came for a moment to eat the seeds. Accept it wasn't a messy eater. So I was glad to see it. For a while after that sparrows were bathing and drinking in our bird bath and pond. And some doves did too. Anyway not much happened today accept this so I can't write a long blog.

The only Song Sparrows I have seen so far have been hidden in brush. I will have to get my birdbath out this weekend.

Did you ever think these messy sparrows might be a bit like some boys I know :-)
Once again, GREAT pictures.
