Adorable birds! 😊
Thank you, Donna. 🙂
I enjoyed your highlighted sparrows today, HJ. I’m not that familiar with the field sparrow and their lovely forked tails because they don’t live where I live, in Calif. I enjoyed learning about them here. The chipping sparrow I am more familiar with, and have enjoyed more moments with them, though they don’t live year-round in Calif., like many sparrows do. Wonderful photos and info, my friend.
I can see them both through the year. They are part of my bird gang. Thank you very much for your nice comment. 🙂
