Song Sparrow (Melospiza melodia morphna) - Richmond, BC

            One of the most common, plain  and drab birds around but with one of the most beautiful songs. Some people say it sounds like the opening four notes of Ludwig van Beethoven's "Symphony No. 5." Never judge a book by its cover. I have met one Song Sparrow that likes to feed off my hand like a Chickadee, I visit him often.
