Song Sparrow Singing its Song

Song Sparrow calls its song from the top of an Arborvitae. An attractive and cheerful bird it will brighten your day. There is probably a Song Sparrow nest nearby but I haven't found it. Last years nest can be seen at:

Relaxing Nature Meditation - Baby Song Sparrows in Nest

Video: Relaxing Nature Meditation - Baby Song Sparrows in Nest

Relax and enjoy watching two Song Sparrow chicks in the nest. If a few minutes of watching these birds is precious, imagine watching them for 12 minutes - they are fascinating. They have grown fast and are close to fledging. One in particular is obsessed with pulling out its baby downy feathers in preparation for leaving the nest.

Spoiled Chipping Sparrow Baby

Mother Chipping Sparrow continues to feed her newly fledged young on day three out of the nest. But one youngster remains totally dependent and is being seriously spoiled. I put a mark on the little one's butt/feet and it literally does not move one inch in over five minutes standing on a pile of seeds while mom frantically runs back and forth to feed it. It's siblings have moved on.

Song Sparrow Nest and Song

Video: Song Sparrow Nest and Song

Male Song Sparrow sings from a nearby tree while mother Song Sparrow sits on three eggs in a nest well-concealed on the low branches of a small Norwegian Spruce Tree. The classic call of this Song Sparrow male has a nice sharp and clear Smoky Mountains variation. I found an angle to film the nest with a tripod down low. Hopefully will be able to watch them hatch and fledge in the coming weeks. I believe this sparrow is the one that had a failed nest earlier in the summer.

Chipping Sparrow Feeding Fledglings

Video: Chipping Sparrow Feeding Fledglings

Mother Chipping Sparrow has her hands full with two new fledglings just out of the nest this morning (7/18/14).  A birding tip: Spreading seeds around several rocks and other nooks on the ground makes for interesting feeding opportunities and increases the chances of getting good captures of birds and small animals.
