Song Sparrow

Stepped out for a quick walk this afternoon. Humid - at least for me. Temp of 72, dewpoint of 62, no breeze to speak of - felt like summer for once.

Bird of the day - the Song Sparrow.

Song Sparrows are individualists, they don't run (or rather fly) with the pack. For proof, see this cool fact:

Cool fact: Within northern populations of Song Sparrows, there may be both migratory and nonmigratory individuals. The decision to migrate is apparently an individual choice; it is not an inherited tendency. Once on wintering grounds, migratory birds mix with residents in loose flocks during harsh weather.
