Song Sparrow (Melospiza melodia)
After church today, and before we visited Cathy’s mom, we stopped at the Agricultural History Farm Park and enjoyed a few minutes in the demonstration garden. There were Crocosmia in bloom, among other things. From the garden, we walked down through the meadow, which was rich with Helianthus and Monarda. I got one good bird photo, this time of a Song Sparrow (Melospiza melodia). It’s not the flashiest of birds, but, as the name suggests, it’s a songster with a varied repertoire. The heat of the day in the summer isn’t the best time for bird photography, but I’ll take what I can get.
