The house sparrow (Passer domesticus) is classed as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List but with a decreasing population trend. It has an almost cosmopolitan range, where it is both extant and introduced. It is extremely adaptable to habitat and can be found in forest, garden, urban and sub-urban areas and others. A fun fact is that in New York it was found feeding on the 80th floor of the Empire State's Building, and has also been seen once breeding down 650 metres in a coal mine in Yorkshire, England (Clement et al, Helm). It can occur from sea level to 4500m. The species can breed from February through to September with the date of egg laying depending on latitude and typically lays three to four eggs in hedges and thickets. It forms communal nests and roosts. The species consumes mainly seeds and will readily frequent agricultural crops for cereals as well as wild plants such as grasses, herbs, chickweed, docks, and sprouting birds and flowers of fruit trees. It also consumes invertebrates such as insects mainly in the breeding season. However in the UK it is on the Red List due to decline noticed since 2002. Threats are mainly due to lack of invertebrate prey to feed the young in the breeding season due to disturbances in agricultural practices such as herbicides and pesticides.

A young, round looking, mottled grey, white & brown bird sits on a slender branch. The bird is looking up to the left, sitting in profile against a light dappled green background. It has a thin, white eye ring, brown edged primaries and white edged grey tail feathers.
#Birds #Warbler #Fledgling Today's #BirdOfTheDay Alt theme from @robcrank68.bsky.social β¬ is #Borbs any bird looking round. This recently fledged Audubon's Yellow-Rumped Warbler was in the center of a shrub, waiting for it's next meal to be delivered by a haggard parent.
A young bird resting on a light grey rock, against a light grey background topped by blurred rust red. The bird's head is turned to face forward. Darker brown streaks on light brown cover the head & back. The breast feathers are an off white with grey streaks. The tail feathers are a dark grey, the barely visible primaries are black edged in brown.

@alan678.bsky.social picked today's #BirdOfTheDay Alternative Theme as Birds who are #Resting.
Back in July, this little Chipping Sparrow was having a rest on a sun warmed rock, after being fed by one of the parent birds.

August, a fledgling Dark Eyed Junco waits for a parent in a Saskatoon bush. It was practicing catching it's own insects with some success.
Snoozing fledgling, fluffed up and cozy. A notable number of young birds are present in the habitat this December.

A young bird with it's head turned to look over it's shoulder. Head feathers are black, the ones on it's back are just starting to show an iridescent blue. Below the beak is a mall patch of rust colour. The beak has the telltale yellow at the corners that juveniles have.
#Birds #BarnSwallow #Fledgling For today's alternate BTOD #LookinUp A fledgling Barn Swallow who was perched on a branch below me at river's edge. It was patiently waiting for a parent to come by with food. Too young to know any better, it watched me for a bit before turning it's back on me.

A fledgling crow standing on a fence with its wings outstretched and its mouth wide open; a bit of food is hanging off of the bottom of its beak. There is blurred greenery in the background.

Despite their late hatch my house wren begonia tenants have all successfully fledged... they hopped around the porch like popcorn all weekend, much to Hazel's delight and dismay. Good luck and Godspeed little ones. #burbs #wren #fledgling #latebloomer
Trees are not just a backdrop to the habitat; they are nurseries and shelters for new generations of birds.

A close view of a fledgling barn swallow sitting on a tractor seat. The swallow has the classic orangey breast & throat, with dark wings and head. Fledgling giveaway is the wider, yellow-edged beak. They are also sitting with legs somewhat widely splayed, and resting more on their butt. The overall impression is tired at this whole learning-to-fly business, and annoyed at being interrupted.
I was doing a bunch of bits & pieces around the yard today. Thought Iβd finish by mowing a couple of small spots. When I drove up to the mower, I discovered it was already in use by this little fledgling barn swallow. So I guess I can mow tomorrow!
