Field Sparrow.
A smattering of rain this warmish morning—a morning of sparrows. Towhee and song and field and Savannah. A pair of fledgling chippies at home. On the hill, a Field Sparrow even posed for a photo. They’re usually shy, those ones.
Chipping Sparrow (fledgling).
Warm tonight, with fireflies. I wonder what tomorrow will bring.
