White-throated Sparrow Standing at Attention on Deck


This was not a typical pose for these sparrows. More often than not, as they picked up the seed off the deck, they would present themselves in a little ball, belly closer to the ground. From time to time, though, they would straighten up, lifting their necks and heads up, almost as though - at attention. They were probably attending to the fact that some predator might be in the area, or some other concern that might require them to fly away at less than a moment's notice.
