Birds of Kentucky: House Sparrow 2022-10-13 - Central Kentucky - Photo by Pen. A juvenile house sparrow. According to the All About Birds entry on Passer domesticus, "House Sparrows in flocks have a pecking order much the way chickens in a farmyard do. You can begin to decipher the standings by paying attention to the black throats of the males. Males with larger patches of black tend to be older and dominant over males with less black. By wearing this information on their feathers, sparrows can avoid some fights and thereby save energy." Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Whitehurst Diaries: Hummingbirds move on 2022-10-13 - Adair County, KY - Photo by Sharon Whitehurst. Throughout the summer we enjoy the presence of tiny, busy Hummingbird sojourners. It becomes automatic to glance at the feeders as we pass the windows or to 'take a break' in the porch rockers where we can watch the frenetic activity of the resident hummers. The reflection of their wings is patterned on the window panes, flashes across the ceiling. Early in April the nectar feeders will again be hung from the porch eaves and we will eagerly watch for the first hummingbird arrivals.
