The House Sparrow

At brunch one morning on South Congress, I observed a female house sparrow! This is one of my favorite observations because I made it shortly after we had the explanatory class session and I was excited to finally observe something on my own. These birds are closely associated with human habitats, often keeping away from areas like deserts or grasslands. This species is thought of as a very social bird, nesting, singing and sometimes even bathing in groups. An interesting fact about the house sparrow is that the female house sparrow is dominant especially around the nest, and during mating season, despite their small stature, will fight for the men.
