Sparrow on a Fence

It's hard to get sparrows up close, and the one place where I seem to have the most success is at the Calgary Zoo, where they seem to be everywhere. Maybe they are a little more used to people being around. This was one of many gathered near the Caribou. I am sure the way they help themselves to food and water is probably a big draw. I like to think that they kind of run the place, as they were also hanging around the black and brown bears, making themselves at home.
