Sunlit details


Enjoying the sunshine on a cold winter's day. House Sparrows are not closely related to the other North American sparrows. They belong to the family of Old World sparrows (Passeridae).
"The Sparrow to many, the House Sparrow was introduced into North America from its native Europe in the 1850s. It successfully spread across the continent, and is abundant in urban and agricultural habitats. Although it is found in many remote places, it nearly always stays near people and their buildings.
Competition from the House Sparrow for cavity nests can cause decline of some native species.
The House Sparrow is a frequent dust bather. It throws soil and dust over its body feathers, just as if it were bathing with water." From www.birds.cornell.edu/AllAboutBirds/BirdGuide
