Sparrows and Finches

Changde Wu    2018-11-18

Sparrows are very small birds that can be found everywhere, belong to the family of Passeridae. However, the sparrows here in America are not native, rather introduced by European settlers. The sparrows are neither beautiful, nor singing with pleasant sound, and not the types of birds people love. Nevertheless, they are common, and as sophisticated as other big birds. There are so many species that we cannot see all of them in life.

Finches are similar to sparrows, but prettier. They belong to the family of Fringillidae.

This article lists the sparrows I photoed in recent year and can be named by myself. They were photoed mostly in New England region.
