| Wow -- a bunch of European house sparrows, Passer domesticus, gathering grain. Are they in a wheat field? |
 |
| Nope. They are systematically taking apart an autumn wreath on the door of a Brooklyn brownstone. Looks a bit bare on the lower left, doesn't it? |
 |
| A dozen more sparrows sat the on the steps below, waiting their turns on the wreath and snatching up fallen snacks. Clever foragers! No wonder they are such successful urban birds. Click on the photos to enlarge. |
