I've a very similar bird image prep'd to post in a few days. 😆

gettoknownature.bsky.social•77 days ago

It’s fun to watch birds by the water. I’ll look forward to seeing it!

geraldlohnas.bsky.social•77 days ago

The most frequent visitor to my bird feeder.

After the grey squirrels.

gettoknownature.bsky.social•77 days ago

How lovely! I have some in my yard too. Also plenty of squirrels

I love everything about this photograph. Beautiful.

Thank you!

It's so refreshing to see real photographs of real creatures.

gettoknownature.bsky.social•77 days ago

😊 I love them and share whatever I see

ky-backyard-birder.bsky.social•77 days ago

I like the reflection

betsycooley.bsky.social•77 days ago

I wouldn't have seen it if you hadn't pointed out that it was there. Great camouflage!

gettoknownature.bsky.social•77 days ago

Really impressive camo!

betsycooley.bsky.social•77 days ago

Yes, it was!

kitcrooks.bsky.social•77 days ago

Fabulous image!

caitbang.bsky.social•77 days ago

What a beauty!

raythewren.bsky.social•77 days ago

Love the reflection 🤩

gwen4braves.bsky.social•77 days ago

Seeing this on my phone didn't do it justice. On a tablet this fiesty sparrow is adorable.

gettoknownature.bsky.social•77 days ago

It blends in so well it's hiding its loveliness

watchinthesky.bsky.social•77 days ago

A double cute pic with the reflection in the water! Song sparrows are so cute.

gridflay.bsky.social•77 days ago

And yet you got such a wonderful picture of it! 😄

gettoknownature.bsky.social•77 days ago

I saw it fly in to the edge of the stream so I got to watch it for a while. But if I looked away I’d lose track of it!

gridflay.bsky.social•77 days ago

I don't why I'm impressed by effective camouflage, but I always am. Even though I know why they have it...

gettoknownature.bsky.social•77 days ago

It can be pretty surprising when you see them in the exact right environment. It's like "oh that's why they have that exact plumage!"

gridflay.bsky.social•77 days ago

yup- I almost tripped on a faun in tall grass once- would not gave thought them so well hidden!

keefry.bsky.social•77 days ago

When you can see another surprise bird? Such a treat. Love this photo so much!!

gettoknownature.bsky.social•77 days ago

Thank you! It’s amazing how good the camo was

saskajanet.bsky.social•77 days ago

And !LOOK! at that perfect reflection. This is SO GOOD

emoontxwriter.bsky.social•77 days ago

Yup. In years past, one of our winter sparrows.
