Well-fed Singer

This roly-poly Song Sparrow was singing up a storm at Alton Baker Park. It was so busy singing that I was able to get close by moving when it looked away. I guess it has its winter fat. They are no doubt fast burners as they are rarely still very long, unless it is to sing. I thought the little critter was really cute!

I like your description - "roly-poly". Nice shot of this guy in a spring-like setting. Our outdoors won't look like this for about two months!

Simply adorable, Vern. Great catch of the perfect moment. I do love how very fluffed up he is too. ;)

Looks like it's got its down jacket all fluffed up against the cold.

This could explain some of his looks... “A bird's body heat warms the air between its feathers,” Marra explains. “So birds fluff up in the cold to trap as much air in their feathers as possible. The more trapped air, the warmer the bird.” Sure a cute little bird.
