Church Sparrow?

Hello!

 

I’m in Aracajú…Just about to leave for Salvador, from where I will start a 08 day birding tour on the Brazilian NE.

Yesterday ( Sunday) I went to the mass service on a catholic church near by. (I’m a catholic).

During the sermon, I couldn’t ignore the House Sparrows calling from inside the church.

The building is a very basic one, without a celling – Just the roof.

The sparrow like to built nests there & like it as a shelter, as well.

This is true for most churches in Brazil – The House Sparrows loves the churches!!!

By the way, in Brazil the Barn Owl is called the Church Owl ( among other names).

So, I wondering why not to call the House Sparrow , the Church Sparrow???

 

May everyone have a great day & wonderful week!

 

Yours,

Garden Lifers !

Hello!

I do have quite a nice garden at my office in Mato Grosso.

Once in a while, I get there – totally – unexpected birds.

The most recent ones are : A Red-crested Finch, that , apparently, is living there & a pair of Toucan Toucans seen on a Cecropia tree.

Today, I’m leaving for the Pantanal. I will also go to Serra das Araras and Chapada National Park.
This time I intend to make a better video & pictures of the Harpy Eagle.

Yours,

Paulo Boute.
