Song Sparrows bullied me every time I visited the flowers of the deer brush. All I was doing was taking pictures of bees and flies, but the Song Sparrows were insistent that I leave. I tried to gently explain to them that I was about four metres from their nest, but they wouldn’t listen to my logic.
Then something deep in the brush caught my eye: two chicks. I quickly clicked and promptly retreated. This second nest was one that I did not know about, but the parents did.
This Song Sparrow chick was distinctly less agitated than its parents.
Very cool Alistair, nice detail.
Made me smile – thank you Alistair – so precious.
Awe….I had an experience like this with a pair of ravens. I finally spotted the little blue eyed baby.
Hi, Alistair,
Interesting that you found 2 nests so close together. Great pic as always,
Peter
