Home sweet home

This series speaks for itself. Industrious house sparrows... Build, bathe, eat, repeat all.

              The white throated sparrows observe all, but are not into home construction.

Other garden residents

The house sparrows are building a condo on top of the protected light fixture. They've used this location before. The traffic in and out is extraordinary.  The male sparrow is the one with the dark throat. There seems to be two males and four females doing the building.
They stop for seed lunch at the shrub right downstairs. Convenient.
The local male robin watches the sparrows and the lens.
The baby dove, not pictured, is doing very well, independent during the day, one feeding in late afternoon.

Intimate moments

The baby on the planter wall. The baby is a very stronger flyer now. Parent flew into blossom tree.
Baby flew right up into same tree for feeding time.
Pretty soon this family will relocate. Baby recognizes me, I'm sure.
Resting in amongst the blossoms
Both parents in neighboring tree. They chased off an intruding dove.
