“Given that Rorate Coeli and Shea are mad at Fr. Z, I think it proves Fr. Z knows what he is doing and he is right.”

"Let me be clear. Fr. Z is a shock jock, mostly. His readership is vast and touchy. They like to be provoked and react with speed and fury."

“For me the saddest thing about Father Z’s blog is how cruel it is.... It’s astonishing to me that a priest could traffic in such cruelty and hatred.”

I think your new visitor is a Fox Sparrow, especially if you notice he’s a little bigger than your other sparrows. Not a regular visitor in your neck of the woods. He’s probably migrating through.
I am so jealous, as I am living in a space where there are very few birds, probably eaten over the centuries. I love robins, as thrushes are some of my favorite birds. As to the sparrow, I, too, think it is the Fox Sparrow, which is redder than the Lincoln’s and has more white on the tummy. It is hard to judge from a photos, albeit, an excellent photo.
torontonian: Yes, I think you are right and I actually meant to write FOX Sparrow. Thanks for jumping in! And, yes, this critter is a larger sparrow. It was the little grey streak in the tail that really caught my eye.
Thank you as always, Fr. Z. I miss the Z-cam, by the way. There were a few times a year ago when I found myself awake at early hours here on the Pacific Coast and it was always a joy to bring up the Z-Cam and watch the night grow dim and fade into sunrise. Perhaps it would be an act of charity to bring it back online? (Perhaps it would TAKE an act of charity to bring it back!)
By the way, thanks to your posts about the birds and their eating habits, I installed first one and then a second thistle-sock in our tiny suburban backyard, and we now have a gang of goldfinches visiting morning and evening! I had only seen one at a time previously, visiting the bird bath for water, but within a week of the first sock going up they were here. How do they know?
Blessings upon you and your feathered friends, Father.
Always pleased to see some Cardinals infiltrating Twins country. ;)
May their brethren farther south do well in their affair with that group out of Texas.
Nice to see the birdie pics as always, Father Z!
Jacob: yeah, I want to see those other Cardinals win the World Series.
My great – uncle was the Scout who discovered Stan Musial and played for the St. Louis Browns. My mother is from St. Louis and needless to say, the family is nutsy about the Cardinals. Go Cards….
Awwwwww, my kid sister LOVES birds, she’ll love these, thanks!
No parish, but a busy priest, masses said for the birds’ benfactors………
Forgive me the pun, but surely this adds a whole new dimension to the old idea of a “Chantry priest”?
My husband and I enjoy watching the birds at our feeder. I have wondered how you get such good photos. Do you have one of those digital camera binoculars?
