Nature Sparrows Feuding

Sparrows Feuding · **3 Likes**

The Sparrows were unusually feisty at our bird feeder today.
My wife suggested that they knew we are under a snowstorm warning, and I may have troubles filling it tomorrow.

Thank you for your comment.

I have to admit that I did adjust the contrast and brightness a tad, but it was lots of fun watching them work it out.

They don't all appear to be feuding

Fun to see, thanks for sharing.

Yes, some of them are just getting in the ways of others, but a lot of anger was being expressed - a reminded of the meaning of 'pecking order'.

Love the contrast. The color palette matches the birds. So nice.

Thank you for your comment.

Many female birds are a brown color, even if the male is colorful {think of Cardinals};
I have always thought that was so they could sit on nests and blend in to their surroundings.
At this time of year, the surroundings around here completely match them - and I have come to really treasure the combination of browns that clothe Sparrows.
