Baby Sparrows

I had such fun today. I was doing some research at the kitchen table
and a Mama sparrow and her babies came to our bird feeder.
They were terribly cute, like this baby who was sleeping in the sun on our railing.

The Mama feeding her baby.

I guess she figured feeding them in a bird feeder was a lot easier than finding seeds in the field.

The babies acted like they weren't sure how to judge distance when they flew,

and would fall asleep, even in the feeder.

These are honeyberries, the prairie-hardy version of blueberries, which we planted in our yard.

They are ripening now. Can anyone find a little duck in the picture?

(I'm hooked on birds. I see them everywhere!)
