Ok now I know it isn't a "pretty" bird like Muffy gets, but hey this is what is out in my front yard LOL.
But I like sparrows! They never let you down and are guaranteed to come for food :lol:

Yep, I just saw the cardinal, too! :D

This sparrow is cute. In the first picture it looks like he's hanging on with just one foot to keep from stepping on those THORNS I see!!

I saw a nature show once that said if you look at the black markings on the males, the bigger the black mark the more dominant he is. Yours has a pretty big black mark. :wink:
