A Sparrow Without Her Tail

I was going to post about something else today but then I looked out and saw this female house sparrow without a tail! She's a compelling mix of cute and pathetic but her lack of plumage hasn't slowed her down one bit. Aside from dining alone at my feeder, she has also been hopping around in the neighbor's roof gutter.

Don't worry, little bird, like any bad haircut it will grow out eventually.
