I feel like they are friends. I see the neighborhood Sparrows so frequently on my walks down our street that it feels easy to consider them my friends. Nope, they’re not tame or wanting my attention; but it’s fun to pretend these delicate beauties know me. Copyright 2023 Pamela BreitbergI never cease to be in awe of their delicate yet resilient design. Their feathers, like with most birds, hide a small, light, fragile structure. Sparrows are too often overlooked and underappreciated. Copyright 2023 Pamela BreitbergSymbolic of grace and beauty is the Swan. Here in Lincoln Park Zoo’s bird sanctuary, it rests amongst a flock of Ducks. Enjoy your nearby neighboring birds as you pass them. Copyright 2023 Pamela Breitberg
