What is this little bird?

[ncgnance]

That looks alot like a little carolina wren, or brown wren fledgeling. They have a very loud chirrepy song. Sweet little birds, and very busy when looking for a nesting place. And they'll build just about anywhere. My brother-in-law had a nest in his racing helmut, in the back of his race car.

I had to get a bigger lens on my camera, these are tiny little birds.....and I did get some decent pictures of the birds that came out of the nest above where I found the little fledgling.

I will upload them afterthe pictures of my horses hooves (in BAD shape) are done uploading.

to proove the wren theory wrong even more...

the cactus wren is 8 " tall and only in the southern parts of texas and other states over to the western lower bottom portion of the US. (brown with other colors long pointy beak)

the rock wren is 5 1/2 inches tall and is found throughout Cali, and all those other states up and down the western side of the US (brown with other colors- long poiny beak)

Teh Canyon Wren is 5 1/2 inches and is also found in the same areas pretty much as the rock wren (brown with other colors- loonng beak)

now the Carolina wren is in her area (as well as mine) however it's 6 inches tall, and brown with a bold white line from the base of it's beak the whole way to it's back shoulder

the bewicks wren is also in her area, however has the same sort of pattern as the carolina wren and is 5 1/2 inches tall

the house wren is almost all brown, looks more like a robin and is 5 inches tall long beak...it's in her area and mine as well

winter wren is 4 inches tall brown all over with ticks of white and tan, it winters in her range

the sedge wren is 4 1/2 incehs tall, a light tan with black splotches..not in her state

marsh wren, not in her state...brown, with very noticeabl white spots on its back and a white line from base of beak to back behind the eye

that is ALL of the US species of wrens

sorry not a wren lol

Is it a chipping sparrow? They are a tiny sparrow with russet on the top of their head. They make a chipping sound and a long buzzing sound.

Pictures are only at 83%. I will go shower then upload one or two quixkly before work.
Horses hooves are breaking and chipping. My farrier comes next week, but I am trying to convince him to try the "natural trim" with a mustang roll so they last longer on my appaloosa Joe.

These are from the day of the trim and the pictures were taken AFTER the farrier left:

ok.

Bird pictures to follow.

It looks like a house sparrow fledgling.

Not my images.

Believe it or not, many bird lovers kill these, as adult house sparrows ( a non-native species) invade the nests of blue birds and behead the blue bird babies. I couldn't bring myself to do that, I don't think, but I have broken up nests before eggs were laid. We have a lot of blue birds around here.

The eggshell, if you see it near, would have been white with dark brown spots. They are cavity nesters.
