🐦 Bird of the Day: The House Sparrow! 🏡
Happy Friday! For our theme, "Murmurations of Color", we are spotlighting the House Sparrow. While many sparrows are native to North America, the House Sparrow (Passer domesticus) is a feisty little immigrant with a fascinating backstory.

Of all North America’s bird songs, few are as hauntingly beautiful, or as scientifically fascinating, as the White-throated Sparrow’s signature tune. This bird doesn’t just sing; it tells a story etched in ecology memory.
