Wonder if these two are mating? I read somewhere that Canada geese do sometimes pair up with domestic geese. They were a LONG way away from where I was parked, but I had to try to get this pic.

That house sparrow cracks me up!
THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS A CUTE, MUCH LESS CUTIE, HOUSE SPARROW!!! Now that's off my chest I loved this post. (House Sparrow excepted, of course. I know they are here to stay and have full citizenship but I don't have to like it.)
Ha, NCMW! Two of your least favorite yard denizens back to back: house sparrow and gray squirrel. Thank you, bloggy buddy :-)
I think I just decided that if I ever cannot identify a bird, I will just ask you.
Love that last squirrel picture - I can almost hear him say "That's all, folks!"
Man, I wish you were here. I've got some birds that I just can't identify. Even with a bird book. I need a PROFESSOR of birdology!

These are wonderful pictures, Michael and a great chronicle of spring 2013. I love the ferny looking plant with the droopy tear drop looking (flowers?). Are they Mr. Ken's too? Do you know the name of them? Thank you for sharing.
