Song Sparrow Bleating Out A Tune
Description: Song sparrows are fairly common around these parts. Plenty of them at my backyard bird feeders.
While common, they also have a beautiful voice and song to share.
https://thecareyadventures.com/blog/song-sparrow-bleating-out-a-tune/
A song sparrow regularly visits our bird feeder and sits entranced, by itself, meditating on the birdseed as it contemplatively cracks the shells with its beak. We've named it Thinky, for its habit of seeking solitude and spacing out.
I wonder if I would recognize Thinky if it returned to my yard with a family in tow. Would its partner and offspring be as peaceful and prone to daydreaming? Or would it still stand out as a space cadet?

Spent the weekend enjoying the sunshine and warmth. Even took some photos of birds. Here's some of the ones I like.

Negri Nepote Native Grasslands Birdwalk
On a warm September morning, I joined the Negri Nepote Native Grasslands Birdwalk, led by Chris and Paula Williams from New Jersey Audubon. The weather was pleasant, with soft sunlight warming the grasslands and a light breeze signalling the approach of fall. As we walked, Big Bluestem surrounded us, and sections of the grassland were filled with Early Goldenrod and Tickseed Sunflower, creating a sea of yellow.
