Leucistic House Sparrows
I have two leucistic House Sparrows in my flock. Both are shown in this photo. One has a part white feather on its wing and the other has a white tail feather. Both have been visiting for months.

Mrs. Sparrow came 6 or 7 times to collect dove feathers. My doves always fight over seeds and pull each other’s feathers out.

Father House Sparrow feeding son
Male house sparrow feeding young male. One reason to keep your feeders up in summer is so that the parent birds can feed the babies! Suet is one of the first things many birds feed their babies so it’s very important to leave it up all year.
White House Sparrow
White House Sparrow from earlier this year.
Half white House Sparrow
Rare half white house sparrow. His tail and back are white. There are two like this in our yard.

Birdwatching at the Beach!
During a vacation this past week, I watched a black backed gull catch a small fish and peck at it for a bit before swallowing the remainder of it whole. Very neat! Two laughing gulls were getting some morning sun on the sand. I also spotted a female house sparrow feeding her nestlings at an outdoor restaurant that I visited!
Young male or female House Sparrow?
See this House Sparrow every day. It looks like a female house sparrow but it has black spots near its legs. Young males don’t normally look like this. It looks to be an adult. There is another sparrow like this with balck spots only near its legs. Young males normally only have it under their chin. I saw a half-white male House Sparrow a couple of days ago. All near his tail was white.

House Sparrow Fledgling
This female House was opening her yellow beak very wide and licking the top of her mouth. She was also blinking a lot. She looked newly fledged and smaller than the other House Sparrow fledglings that visit our feeder. She was on our fence and wasn’t eating seeds.

Under God’s Care
We were admiring the sculptural facade of Mission San Jose, San Antonio, TX. Noticed the nest which seemed under the care of the saint.

House Sparrow’s poor decision.
It is early June and a House Sparrow decided to build a nest in the base of a seed cylinder, with a dove-deterring cage. It does of course present a dilemma for the bird watching property owner.
House Sparrow Eggs
This House Sparrow egg was 1 of 5 that were boiled to render them nonviable. In this area House Sparrows are proving a real problem and have kicked out 2 nesting birds and killed 1 female Tree Swallow just in 2015
They grew up so fast!
The first baby Robin fledged yesterday! It was so cool to watch! Can’t wait to see the others fledge!
I’m so proud of the Momma and Daddy Robins! First House Sparrows destroyed their nest, then an American Crow flew up to their nest, but none of the babies were harmed thank goodness!
Cliff Swallows take up occupancy each summer at an 8 story office of the General Motors Technical Center.
More than 100 nests were built by Cliff Swallows. These photos document their return.
