I went out to do something in the garden and this little ball of fluff rocketed up from under the garden bench, where he must have been picking around in all the bits and pieces. I am not sure which of us got the bigger fright. It's just a little sparrow fledgling, but he was so puffed out and fluffy that he looked bigger than the adults.
And look, look - a juvenile robin. You can still see that his red breast hasn't developed totally, it still looks sort of "scaly" under his chin. Now to woo him with mealworms!

And help - it's not just the mahonia showing red, we saw quite a few leaves turning already when we were coming through the park today.
I saw some leaves turning this morning when I was out for a walk too - woohoo! I love autumn!

Great action shots of this little cutie, Sabrina! We are seeing turning leaves already, too; it's going to be an early fall for us.
