Battery Sparrows Species 
10,000 Birds

A couple of weeks ago I watched and photographed a young House Sparrow getting fed by its mother. I also watched, but failed to get pictures of, the same young bird being fed by two different male House Sparrows. This post was first published in June 2008, but we’re sharing this tender moment to celebrate World Sparrow Day !)

This is a chance to recharge out batteries, spend a little quite time together and try to get in a whole bunch of birding done. In the same day, just a few meters up the arroyo, there is a plethora of desert species. This was a real bonus spot last year, especially with migratory sparrows. Then, I try to you avoid the bad parts.

Two more sparrows on the macadam ahead of me… In my early birding days, I would simply assume that they are sparrows, possibly not even taking another look at them, but now I am too old to be so naive.

But, as I detailed last week , that drive to the Pacific Coast was a rather spectacular failure, because of a highly unseasonal rain, and my failure to recharge my camera battery. But this time, it would be in the afternoon, with strong winds and brilliant sunshine… and a full camera battery. White-crowned Sparrow.

I dropped my meager box of baby supplies off and stopped to chat to the two volunteers who were already helping people who had stopped in looking for warm clothing, batteries, and a sympathetic ear. Also, we saw a Blue Grosbeak , some Fox Sparrows , and both species of kinglets. I have never seen Evening Grosbeaks in Queens.

The Song Sparrows were wet. And the White-crowned Sparrows were very, very wet. I had thought that my camera use on two previous neighborhood outings was not enough to demand recharging its battery. I’m fond of photos of birds in a visible mist or drizzle. But these ones looked almost as bedraggled as I did. I was wrong.

We are more refined, merely enjoying invasive species, thinking extinct birds are gone and you should get over it, and that those who like to watch gulls probably have a screw or two loose. 1PM – Clare: Cameras with AA Batteries are the Best. 7PM – Jochen: Spring Sparrows are Way Cooler than Spring Warblers.
