the sparrow doesn’t mind – watercolor

A late-night cold rain froze the ground. The morning did not bring any warmth, so the poor birds searched for food on the crunchy, ice-covered grass.

The sparrow didn’t seem to mind. It must have found something to eat after all of its efforts…

Scratch the ground – jump back.
Scratch the ground – jump back.
Scratch the ground – jump back.

Then a peck.

White-crowned sparrows (Zonotrichia leucophrys) stay in my area for winter. In a month or two, this bird will migrate to northern Canada or Alaska where it will breed.

Safe travels, my friend.
