Sparrows and Chickadees

   

Today I went to my back yard to see what birds were out and about this sunny afternoon in South Seattle. I creeped around while my neighbors stared at me confused and stalked many a tiny bird.


I saw this handsome manly House Sparrow I named Noodles who glared at me when I called him that.


 I also saw adorable puffball Black Capped Chickadees preening and playing in a plum tree.


 And I saw what I believe is likely to be a Chestnut Backed Chickadee in a different tree. Notice the brown back/side? Neat-o!


 









My bird stalking afternoon ended with watching what appears to be a juvenile or immature House sparrow taking a nap in a tree branch low to the ground while he or she sunbathes :) How cute.
