Captured on 30th November 2023, this picture represents a tranquil moment shared between two house sparrows perched next to a lively plant at Lake Merced. The stillness in their demeanor sparks a sense of peace, staking claim as one of my memorable clicks from the album 'Birds of Lake Merced'. Their family, Emberizidae, includes varied shades of the bird kingdom including finches, sparrows, and wrens, bringing richness to the diversity of the locale.
