Yesterday afternoon, I noticed this sparrow as I arrived home from work. He sat on the wire running through the neighbor’s evergreen tree.
Turning his head from side to side.
I stood and watched for a few minutes before grabbing my camera. The sparrow continued to intently turn his head side to side, listening. Once I returned with my camera, he looked at me curiously.
Then, he tweeted a few times and hopped back into the depths of the evergreen tree.
I did see a few other birds this week but not during convenient picture-taking times, mostly robins and downy woodpeckers at home. Some cardinals and a flock of geese flying overhead at work.
And of course, sparrows.
Linking this post up with The Bird Depot hosted by Anni over at I’d Rather B Birdin’.
He knew there was something going on didn’t he. Birds are far more intelligent than we give them credit for.

Yes, they certainly are. Bird-brain should probably be a complement rather than an insult.

Yes, he sure was! Pretty sure if he’d had a tiny camera, he’d been taking my picture while I tried to capture his. Hope you have a wonderful week as well!
