I've always had a soft spot for these beautiful little birds because most people take them for granted. This is such a perfect little portrait!
Here are some little know facts about these survivors.

They are not true sparrows, but instead are of the weaver finch family. (true sparrows are ground nesters creating a bowl shaped nest)
They are not native to America, but were brought here from Europe.
They have a highly complex social structure, making them most interesting to observe.

Thanks for the beautiful pic.
