House Sparrow fledgeling
I was happy to spot this young House Sparrow yesterday, when I went with my oldest daughter to Heritage Park. I so rarely see baby birds of any species. Did you know that the House Sparrow originated in the Middle East?
Had a great walk from the Boat Launch to south of Highway 22X this morning - a good variety of birds (47 species) including a Western Kingbird, Great Blue Heron and Baltimore Orioles (all very distant I should add!), a couple of insects, and a few species of wildflowers. After this walk, several of us went to a different part of the park where we were shown the nesting tree of a Great Horned Owl, and then three young owls and Mom of another owl family not far away. What a sight to see. Will be out all evening on a Mountain Bluebird route.
Wow, we are in a dreadful thunder, lightning and RAIN storm - not sure I've ever heard such torrential rain!! I have a parking lot behind my place and it has turned into a shallow lake in just a matter of minutes! Hope we aren't in for serious flooding like further south in Alberta. I also hope that places like Medicine Hat are not having this same storm that we are getting, to add to their misery.
