A Chipping Sparrow who appears to be outgrowing its plumage ... Any similarity to post Thanksgiving Day members is purely coincidental. :o)

That's my philosophy. Might as be my bird as well. Looks like me.

I very strongly disapprove of all of you guys making fun of this serious and practical creature. I already notice the signs of him getting a bit hurt by your rude staring !!! LOL
Thanks, John, and great congratulations !!!!

I really love that fat little guy. I hope, his friends do not make to many jokes about him. But how would we all look, standing till our knees in wonderful, good food? Great shot!

Hi Muggsy,
Looks as though he might have left it too late (like most of us! )

I love the simplicity of this shot with the one main object. Nature can be so beautiful and more isn’t always better. Thanks for sharing.

Hello John....This is a cracking picture of the sparrow and I like how you have captured him/her plumage all puffed up...Over here in the UK there is a decline in house sparrow numbers...It appears to be widespread over much of western Europe. Many reasons have been suggested including the widespread use of garden pesticides resulting in an absence of insects needed by newborn sparrows.....Have you noticed a shortage of numbers...Once again this is a lovely picture....Take care John....All the best....Mick.
