Chipping Sparrow
For weeks now, walking along Salisbury Road, Blue Spring Road, Jackson Avenue, and Garfield Way, I have been picking up the dry, mechanical trill of Chipping Sparrows from the pines and conifers lining the streets. I started keeping a rough tally. Six, sometimes eight on a single walk. They are clearly there. They just rarely bother to show themselves. So I was not entirely surprised when one turned up in the sassafras tree outside the kitchen window. Surprised enough to grab the camera, but […] -

Gray Catbird (Dumetella carolinensis)
This one looks a bit freaky, like it’s possessed by a demon.

House Sparrow (Passer domesticus)
I saw a House Sparrow (Passer domesticus) foraging in the branches of Eastern White Pines lining Salisbury Road. This small bird, native to Eurasia but now found worldwide, has a stout body, a short tail, and a distinctive black bib, identifying this individual as a male. House Sparrows are adaptable and social, thriving in urban…

White-throated Sparrow (Zonotrichia albicollis)
White-throated Sparrows (Zonotrichia albicollis) are a common sight at bird feeders in Montgomery Township, New Jersey. These small, chunky sparrows have distinctive black and white stripes on their heads, a white throat, and a splash of yellow between their eyes and beaks. Their plumage includes warm brown tones on their wings and back, contrasting with a clean grey underbelly.
At bird feeders, White-throated Sparrows typically forage for seeds, particularly sunflower seeds, millet, and [...]

White-throated Sparrow
Watching bird behaviour can create a sense of hope. Observing birds in their natural habitats, engaging in activities such as feeding, nesting, and interacting with each other, remind# me of the resilience and continuity of nature. This connection to the natural world provides a sense of peace and well-being, offering a hopeful perspective on life's challenges. Bird behaviours often display resourcefulness and adaptability, inspiring a feeling of optimism and a reminder that life goes on […]https://islandinthenet.com/white-throated-sparrow-zonotrichia-albicollis-4/

(Myrtle) Yellow-rumped Warbler (Setophaga coronata)
The Yellow-rumped Warble species is one of the most widespread and most commonly encountered but I have photographed a Yellow-rumped Warbler only once before; during the fall migration and my first visit to the The Beanery at Rea Farm.
There are two main populations: "Audubon's" found in the western U.S. and British Columbia mountains, and "Myrtle" found from the eastern U.S. to Alaska.
Both populations display bright yellow rumps and sides, with "Audubon's" having yellow throats and [...]

Tufted Titmouse (Baeolophus bicolor)
As I finished my pizza I heard the familiar peter-peter-peter song of two Tufted Titmouses. It didn’t take long to see them chasing each other in the thicket of berry vines growing on the fence. [...]

Chipping sparrow (Spizella passerina)
It was midday and the sun was shining. After feeding Sir Alphonso Mango, I heated a slice of pepperoni pizza. I poured a can of Coca-Cola, watching as it cascaded over a glass half-filled with glistening crushed ice. I sat outdoors, able to hear and see birds fluttering in the nearby trees.
I recorded a few minutes of bird calls on the Merlin app, which indicated that some of the birds were Tufted Titmouse, Blue Jay, and Chipping Sparrow. I could now add the Chipping Sparrow to my life [...]

Tufted Titmouse (Baeolophus bicolor)
The wooded area near the volleyball field in my neighbourhood is a great location for bird photography.
