9.9.14 - Bird Nerd Moment

Yarmouth, MA

 

I know that not everyone appreciates House Sparrows...they were introduced from Europe in the mid 1800's and basically have taken over.  They are considered invasive and so an annoyance to many.  Human beings are pretty good at screwing up local ecology, often unwittingly...

Even so, our felines do so enjoy the goings on of the House Sparrows that visit our yard, along with Song Sparrows, Black-capped Chickadees, Tufted Titmouse, Northern Cardinals, Downy Woodpeckers, American Goldfinch, Northern Flicker, Blue Jay, Dark-eyed Junco, Mourning Dove, Carolina Wren, House Wren, Eastern Towhees and the occasional Coopers Hawk.  Having a feeder is great entertainment, yeah... no doubt frustration, for indoor cats.  Here they are getting their feline fix...

I believe "Happy Birding" would mean something entirely different to these two...
