[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The House Sparrow is one of the few introduced species that has succeeded greatly. The species is native to and resides from Britain, northern Scandinavia, and northern Siberia to northern Africa, Arabia, India, and Burma. House Sparrows have been introduced into South America, southern Africa, Australia, and New Zealand, in addition to North America. A nonmigratory species, House Sparrows are closely tied to human activity. This sparrow is usually absent from extensive woodlands and forests and from grasslands and deserts. In the far northern parts of its range and in arid regions, House Sparrows are typically present only in the vicinity of human habitation. In agricultural areas, an average of 60 percent of its food comes from livestock feed, 36 percent from weed seeds, and 4 percent from insects. In urban areas, bird feeders provide more food for House Sparrows. The initial successful introductions in the late 1800s were made in urban areas, where House Sparrows adapted to using the feed and waste products of the horses that provided transportation at that time

wouha!!!
Great photo Ziggy. I like this one, the red color with
those sparrows, it's superb.
Very well done, and not classical picture !
Perhaps I want a bit more clear focus on the first sparrow.
Thanks.

Poor little guys are so cold they want in Costco. Excelent capture and well done on the composition.

I reall like this shot the contrast between the red colour and the bird is great. But I think that it would have been better without the second bird.
Well done.
TFS.
