House Sparrow

Some of my favourite photos taken this afternoon were of little House Sparrows. They flew into a bush near a seed container at the Calgary Zoo. You can put in 25c and get a handful of seed to throw to the ducks on the stream. These little birds were SO puffed up against the cold and almost seemed to be pleading with me to feed them. Guess who didn't have any loose change on her! House Sparrows usually are constantly on the move, but these little guys and gals seemed too cold to flit around all the time.
