driveway art: song sparrow

[asakiyume]

We have some sunny days, and I finished the job I was working on, so I drew a song sparrow. The song sparrow is found throughout most of North America, "continuous from the Aleutians to the eastern United States," says Cornell Ornithology. They're small everywhere bird with a lovely song. Both their song and their plumage varies across the continent.







Scientific name "Melospiza melodia." You can hear samples of their songs here. (The ones around here sound most like the fourth recording down.)

Oh, this is absolutely gorgeous! You've really captured the sparrow, and also its magical outpouring of sound. I love it to bits.

I'm so happy you like it! I was really glad to have a chance to celebrate this beautiful singer.
