Our house provides nesting opportunities for sparrows on all sides. Somewhat ramshackle, with plenty of holes in the thick walls and under the eaves, it is perfect for the communal sparrow lifestyle. Every year we think of filling the holes, and then to decide not to. The sparrows do no harm. We’d miss them. Here are some chicks in the most easily accessible hole for photography. It is used every year, usually twice. An iPhone is best for the purpose because the flash is right next to the lens.
Incredible so intimate and desperate these chicks seem

Hi Scott, they are actually quiet much of the time… until a shadow falls across the opening. Then they get agitated because usually is means parent / worm / insect. They mistook the phone for a food provider!

Great photographs! I would miss our sparrows. They are with us all year round, so really belong here. Amelia
