This handsome bird appears to be a Song Sparrow, Melospiza melodia. It gets the melodia moniker because, according to Birds of Northern California, it "stands among the great California songsters for the complexity, rhythm, and sweetness of its springtime rhapsodies." This #photo was taken #OnThis Date in 2018.

#OnThis Day 1961 wurde die Schriftstellerin Karen #Duve geboren. Beim Lesen der Inhaltsangabe des Buches, das ich empfehlen möchte, kommt mir wieder in den Sinn, was ich schon sehr lange denke: Nur der Mensch, der doch eigentlich das Denken dem Tier voraus hat, ist so dumm, sich seine eigene Lebensgrundlage zu zerstören. Er ist auch nicht in der Lage, aus seinen Fehlern zu lernen. Sonst würden wir nicht in dem aktuellen Dilemma stecken.
