Another visitor.

Because it's World Sparrow Day, all of the bird photos that I post today will be sparrows.

Here is a male house sparrow, who right now is a very small minority among sparrow in my backyard. You can tell he's a breeding male by the patch of black feathers on his upper chest.

"The House Sparrow was introduced into Brooklyn, New York, in 1851. By 1900 it had spread to the Rocky Mountains. Two more introductions in the early 1870s, in San Francisco and Salt Lake City, aided the bird’s spread throughout the West. House Sparrows are now common across all of North America except Alaska and far northern Canada." - allaboutbirds.org
