I am linking up with World Bird Wednesday and Nature Notes
For my World Bird this week I have another bird from Curacao. It is the Rufous Collard Sparrow. We saw this bird often around the sugar feeders and other places around the island.
The sdult has a grey head with broad black stripes on the crown and thinner stripes thru the eyes. The nape and breast sides are rufous in color, the throat is white and the underparts are off whtie . There are two white wing bars.
I like the rufous color on this sparrow, it is a very pretty bird.
This Rufous-collared Sparrow was seen under a lounge chair at the beach.

Just yet another example of an amazing Sparrow I had no idea existed. Very cool little guy. Thanks for sharing this cutie.
That last photo is a riot. Apparently this smart sparrow doesn't want to get sunburned.
Great photos of the sparrow and the photo of the sea looks very peaceful.

Dealing with all of those different species of sparrow in the US must be great and awful at the same time! You seem to have heaps of species.
Nice pictures.

Your sparrows are so pretty but they do have rather substantial feet.
