CLOSED: Clueless on bird

NE Medina Co., TX(Zone 8a)

I took this pic, not the best, but maybe someone can tell me what this bird might be. I don't know too many birds yet.

I think this is the same bird.

What drew me there was the chirping and there's some nests, but more than one kind of bird lurking around them.

Hi Linda, This is a male House Sparrow. A European bird brought here in the middle of the 19th century. It aggressively competes with our native cavity-nesting species of birds for nest spots.

Ooh, I read about those! I hope none of those come by my place. That pic was take at a carwash in a town nearby. Thanks!

They do the same thing at the garden center of our local wal-mart....I know those in charge would love to be rid of them. That's the only place I ever seen them...there and nesting on top of traffic lights.

It's a shame those birds are in this country.
