One of the last

One of the many sparrows who visit our neighbor’s yard. Unfortunately, he’s moved his Christmas tree – still alive and now decorated for St. Patrick’s Day – to block my view of the birds. His wife said he promised to get rid of it after Valentine's Day, but it's still there, along with all the skeletons.

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

What a lovely capture of this little one. It’s too bad the holiday year round motif is blocking the view. V

A nice detailed shot of the sparrow. V Can't help but chuckle at the thoughts of a tree decorated for St Patrick's Day!

The sparrow looks slightly annoyed. I guess he shares your opinion about the skeletons. Great details.
