I almost thought this fellow was a statue with how still it was standing. It was likely looking for a bite to eat. Taken in Stockton, California

#birdsofbluesky #goldencrownedsparrow
An orb-shaped, rather drab-looking small bird sits on a wooden bridge in view. It has buff brown feathers, pink legs, and could fit in the palm of one’s hand in terms of size. End description.

A song sparrow from my August Adventures in Pennsylvania
Transcription: An image of a song sparrow. The sparrow’s feathers are striped white and chestnut on the head with speckled wings and a white underbelly. This small bird perches on a rusty piece of foundation metal in an aged and mossy concrete wall, preening the lower left half of its body. The background is teeming with plant life growing up and over the wall. End transcription.

Found this Black Phoebe at a local state park. The river has receded down a tad bit, exposing more hunting ground for this insectivore.
A black phoebe, a rather small flycatcher with a long but slender tail, black on its top, and a white underbelly. The bird sits on top of a rather weathered branch overlooking a river. The river is gently rippling and peppered with various deciduous leaves from the changing seasons.
