Grassland Encounter

Charlie and I spent a couple of hours outside yesterday, watching the birds and breathing in the cool air. I was hoping to spot something unusual—one of the odd species that sometimes pass through—but it was just the usual suspects for this time of year.

Still, there was a quiet moment worth noting: a sparrow and a cardinal sharing a patch of ground as they foraged. The cardinal found something—a grub or insect, maybe—and the sparrow turned to look, curious about the find. Not quite companions, but neighbors in the moment.

"Two birds share a patch of sunlit grass, their small forms nestled among blades that bend and shimmer in soft green hues. On the right stands a female Northern Cardinal (Cardinalis cardinalis), her body cloaked in warm brown tones with subtle washes of red along her wings, tail, and crest. Her bright orange beak grips a small insect or grub, a quiet triumph of morning foraging. Her posture is alert yet composed, angled slightly forward as if mid-step or mid-thought.

To her left, a Chipping Sparrow (Spizella passerina) perches low to the ground. Smaller and more compact, it wears a coat of gray and brown streaks, with a crisp dark eye stripe that gives its gaze a focused, almost scholarly look. Its feathers blend into the earthy tones of the grass, making it appear as if the ground itself had lifted a bird into view.

The two birds are close—perhaps not companions, but neighbors in the moment. The photograph captures their proximity with clarity and grace, each bird distinct yet harmonized by the shared setting. The grass beneath them is textured and alive, dotted with shadow and light, giving the scene a sense of quiet movement and natural rhythm." - Microsoft Copilot — "Two birds share a patch of sunlit grass, their small forms nestled among blades that bend and shimmer in soft green hues.

Are there any #ornithologists ? I have a dumb question about sparrows (both house sparrow and eurasian tree sparrow).

Near 3 days ago, I saw a lot of sparrows on the streets. Also a lot of them flew to my window to eat some seeds. Despite the air temperature was near 0°C.

But suddenly, after one night all sparrows are disappeared from the streets — I see no one, only another species: crows, wagtails and tits.

First, I thought that all sparrows are migrated somewhere. But from Wikipedia I learned that they may migrate only to nearby rural areas to eat some insects, if there are no food in the city. But (again) in my district are enough bird feeders with food.

So I really have a question — where (and why) are all the sparrows flew? I live at the outskirts of city with a big count of trees and a small forest nearby, so looks like here should be good conditions for birds

The sparrow sitting on the asphalt, with one paw on the border stone. The bird is looking far away from the left of the camera.

The sparrow lit by Sun, sitting on the metal fence. The sparrow turned the head back to look to the camera.

Hab die Töchter des Haussperlings gefragt, was sie am Stadtbild stört.

Die Jüngere meinte: "Das Stadtbild würde ich gern mal sehen. Leider stehen immer die Karren wohlhabender Menschen im Blickfeld."
Die Ältere meinte: "Ach, sch... auf den Merz, es ist Sommer!"
