Can I Hitch A Ride? by

We were waiting in the boarding area in the Phoenix Arizona Airport to board our flight to St. Louis Missouri when this little one lit on the seat beside me. Of course I had my camera bag with me, I never check my cameras, so I grabbed one and when the flash went on the sparrow decided he didn’t want to go to St. Louis with me after all.

    Was this inside? What a beautiful image!

  • Yes it is perched on the seat next to me in the waiting area for boarding of planes??? An attendant said it had been there for several days.

    Haha what a cute and funny story Bro! Friendly little thing! Just goes to show you that you should have a camera on hand at all times! You just never know what photo ops will present themselves! Awesome image!

  • Thank you Sis, I was surprised to say the least. Yes I always have a camera, some think I am weird but I don’t miss many shots ☺☺

    It doesn’t take much for them to get inside a door, I have seen them (or their relatives) in many unexpected places … great shot Byron !

  • Thank you Trish, it was a surprise for me ☺

    Wow….what luck…to be this close and have him sit long enough to get the camera out and focused. Its as if he wanted his picture taken! Great detail, my dear bro!

  • Thank you Sis, It sure got out of there when the flash went off ☺☺

    A beautiful capture. I went to Queensland (Australia) from Melbourne a few years ago and, while sitting in the departure lounge waiting to board my return flight, I saw a couple of small birds flying around the ceiling, too. Unfortunately, the light was too dark up there to get any shots of them!

  • Thank you, this building had very high ceilings also but this little one was flying around very close to the people in the lounge.
