They’re back!

The sparrows are back in force, congregating in my neighbor’s back yard and on his roof, where I think they nest in spring.

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by Pbase are decidedly
unsharp.

Portrait photographer Peter Hurley teaches his subjects to "squinch" their eyes. This sparrow must have been listening at a window because he definitely has a Brad Pitt squinch going on.
