Swede’s Photographs

Urban Survivor

While walking with Charlie, I spotted a small bird perched on a fence we passed. Uncertain of its species, I paused to take a closer look. As it turns out, it was a fairly common female house sparrow (Passer domesticus). The composition of the scene, with its natural tones and quiet simplicity, isn't too bad.

If you enjoy photos of birds and other wildlife, take a look at my photo gallery. Sparrows are never overlooked—they're a valued and important part of my collection. Feel free to explore!

"The image captures a female house sparrow perched delicately on the bottom rung of a black wrought iron fence. The dark metal contrasts beautifully with her soft, earthy tones, making her presence even more striking. Small patches of lichen cling to the iron, adding texture and hints of green to the otherwise monochromatic structure. Her compact frame is adorned with subtle shades of brown and gray, blending harmoniously with the environment. Her underbelly is a pale, muted tone, while the feathers on her back display intricate patterns of warm browns and gentle streaks. She grips the cold metal firmly with her tiny claws, exuding both fragility and quiet resilience. Her beady, dark eyes shine with curiosity, and her petite, pointed beak is poised as if she’s mid-thought. The sunlight filters through the surroundings, casting soft highlights across her delicate features. Though she lacks the bold markings of a male house sparrow, there is an undeniable elegance in her understated beauty." - Copilot

We’re back home and it’s a beautiful morning in Lee’s Summit (#KCish) so we’re sitting on the deck.

Which reminds me… Do you know what Merlin never picked up while we were down in conservationist’s paradise, Shannon County? Invasive European house sparrows!

Add that to the long list of city noises I’ll be glad to leave behind. Someday, over the 🌈

Spring Feeder

I've received inquiries about purchasing prints of my photographs. Since photography is a hobby for me, I haven’t been fully prepared to handle these requests in the past. However, I truly enjoy capturing moments through my lens and want to share my work with others.

To make this possible, I’ve set up an account and website through Pixels:

If you’d like a print of one of my photographs, you can find it there. If a particular photo isn’t available, just let me know—I’ll be more than happy to upload it for you!

"The scene is alive with bird activity around the wooden bird feeder. A goldfinch is caught mid-flight on the left, wings spread and feet reaching forward, ready to land. On the feeder itself, there are four goldfinches, their vibrant yellow feathers making them stand out. Sharing the space are a chipping sparrow, with its streaked brown and white feathers, and a house sparrow, whose subdued brown and gray tones add variety. The house sparrow appears to be turning toward the approaching goldfinch, almost as if in a moment of greeting. The image captures a charming interaction between the birds—a perfect snapshot of nature's lively rhythms." - Copilot

Here’s a house sparrow that we saw in the Canterbury town of Culverden, NZ, on our undergraduate ecology field trip last month. One of the students, William Harland, is a fantastically skilled photographer and got this great photo of it and uploaded it to #iNaturalist. This is long-billed syndrome and happens when the beak doesn’t stop growing. This house sparrow surprisingly seemed to be managing to feed.
