I caught this pair of sparrows engaged in a chat - or so it seemed. At any rate, one of them obviously had an idea to share. I would guess that the comment was something on the order of, "Going south for the winter sounds pretty good about now!" - much what any sensible snowbird might say.

Indeed, it was a very cold January day, windier than it appears here, and both conversation and intentionally directed flight were quite difficult. These two house sparrows (Passer domesticus) were buffeted around mercilessly whenever they ventured off the ground or away from the branches of the relatively sheltered yew hedge and bush they frequent. However, we keep a covered feeder well provisioned in winter, and they know it; so out and up they came - repeatedly. I had only to put my camera in burst mode and set it on a tripod aimed through my back window to catch their comical (well, to me) difficulties.

I use my camera to explore the world around me and as a basis for creative expression. Because I live in Nebraska, I have a fondness for rural scenes that will be evident as you explore my images, but I enjoy traveling and have many other interests as well. I hope you enjoy your visit.
