Poor little sparrow

It was snowing on Monday afternoon when I heard this sparrow constantly chirping. It was sheltering in an azalea bush, moving around among the branches. When I got a bit closer to try to get a better shot, it jumped on top of the bush and posed for me.

Still some snow there. A fine shot of this sparrow

Chilly, but he still offered you a sweet shot.

Tough conditions for the little fellow.

Snow so late in your season - not fair, especially for the birds.

It's not easy to capture a little bird on a snow-covered shrub of similar color. You did a great job. ~VVVV~

Sweet! They are such stoic creatures and able to survive! VVV~

I knew you got some light snow based on images my daughter who lives in Arlington postdated. A nicely detailed capture with the cute sparrow wondering what happened to the warmer weather. V+

A very long winter for the birds! V

I think it's singing "I'm king of this mountain".

Well shot, Helen.

They're pretty hardy. He popped up to say he's OK. Nice capture.

You certainly have had more than your share of snow this year!

Ce moineau est très bien saisi. V

The sparrow, perched atop the azalea bush, feels both vulnerable and resilient.
It doesn’t look defeated by the snow — rather, it appears spirited and alive....V
