The birds were hungry (and impatient) today. They flew down before I had even got up the stairs to the deck.

Found a few more shots of the American Tree Sparrows. I count five on the fence in the last photo. I think there's also a Dark-eyed Junco in photo 3.

Hey #birdodon. My teen showed me the latest emojis and while I'm excited that we finally have a black bird 🐦‍⬛, a goose 🪿, a wing 🪽, an empty nest 🪹, and one with eggs 🪺, I still can't believe there is no emoji for binoculars!

Can birders make this happen? I feel like every other tool or sports equipment is there.

Here's the full bird lineup:

What else is missing? Hawk? Woodpecker?

American Tree Sparrow
Recognizing Sparrows remains challenging but I've managed to identify 11 different species so far, usually through photos and research after the fact.

I haven't seen many American Tree Sparrows but one day a bunch of them were hanging out at the border between the beach & the woods, posing nicely on the fence.

I'm not saying the #weather here has been a bit #rubbish lately or anything, BUT, this Grey Heron I saw today as I went for my walk in the rain was looking distinctly grumpy.
