White Crowned Sparrow: I used to avoid photographs with human-made objects "interfering" with nature (or, the rest of nature, as we are animals too), but I have really done a 180. This weathered chain link fence, for example, matches the natural background to offer a bit of camouflage for our friend and provides a nice perch. The fence's purpose is to help maintain clean waterways for local wildlife. With our increasingly aggressive takeover of wild spaces, I have come to relish the small spaces in which humans and other animals improve each other's environment. #urbannature #urbanbiodiversity #suburbanbirds #birding #birds #sandiego #birdwatching #birdphotography #nature #naturephotography #wildlife #wildlifephotography #natgeo #vogel #oiseau #shorebirds #oiseaux #marshbirds #natgeowildlife #sparrow #whitecrownedsparrow
