"Birds will give you a window, if you allow them. They will show you secrets from another world - fresh vision that, though it is avian, can accompany you home and alter your life. They will do this for you even if you don't know their names - though such knowing is a thoughtful gesture. They will do this for you if you watch them." ~ Lyanda Lynn Haupt, Rare Encounters with Ordinary Birds

Passer domesticus: House Sparrow
Otherwise known as a murderous, evil bastard, or the hydrogen molecule of birds.
One of my favorite birding blogs is written by Birdchick. This week, Birdchick's husband, "Non-birding Bill" is writing a series for non birders, "NBB's Guide to that Bird you saw." It's informative and funny.
Check it out.
