Prairie Notes #230- A Host of Sparrows Spotted Towhee (Pipilo maculatus). Photo by Don Young. - Watch a Spotted Towhee feeding on the ground; you'll probably observe its two-footed, backwards-scratching hop. This "double-scratching" is used by a number of towhee and sparrow species to uncover the seeds and small invertebrates they feed on. One Spotted Towhee with an unusable, injured foot was observed hopping and scratching with one foot. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62a8be5c4ef3ef65ac08bb6f/1769291090191-93ISN99OPO3E1SLEAQWX/Song+Sparrow_Sam.jpeg PRAIRIE NOTES - Prairie Notes #230- A Host of Sparrows Song Sparrow (Melospiza melodia) Photo by Sam Kieschnick. - The sparrow species derives its name from its colorful repertoire of songs. Enthusiasts report that one of the songs heard often in suburban locations closely resembles the opening four notes of Ludwig van Beethoven's Symphony No. 5. The male uses a fairly complex song to declare ownership of its territory and attract females. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62a8be5c4ef3ef65ac08bb6f/1769292916516-8G1U7DR9SLKP2SBHKLO1/Field+Sparrow_Keandre.jpg PRAIRIE NOTES - Prairie Notes #230- A Host of Sparrows Field Sparrow (Spizella pusilla). Photo by, Keandre Rush. - A Field Sparrow nest is a cup-shaped construction built on the ground and hidden beneath a bush or clump of grass. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62a8be5c4ef3ef65ac08bb6f/1769293151017-BJ6KOM4ORJHX8TQB2G02/dark-eyed+junco_sam.jpeg PRAIRIE NOTES - Prairie Notes #230- A Host of Sparrows Dark-eyed Junco (Junco hyemalis). Photo by Sam Kieschnick. - The Dark-eyed Junco is one of the most common birds in North America and can be found across the continent, from Alaska to Mexico, from California to New York. A recent estimate set the junco’s total population at approximately 630 million individuals. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62a8be5c4ef3ef65ac08bb6f/1769293183906-10EB7BIEJS8V4MKH61L0/White-throated+Sparrow_Keandre.jpg PRAIRIE NOTES - Prairie Notes #230- A Host of Sparrows White-throated Sparrow (Zonotrichia albicollis). Photo by, Ad Konings. - In a 2019 study based on monitoring efforts dating from 1978 to 2016, white-throated sparrows were found to be one of the most susceptible birds to building collisions, even being referred to as "super colliders". This may well be caused by both their attraction to artificiallightaswellastheir use of nocturnal flight calls, causing a positive feedback loop wherein the sparrowsare constantly attracted by both light and sound to their demise. According to Sam Kieschnick, “white throated sparrow has one of the best bird songs ever! Song sparrows are quite lovely singers too! One of my other favorite little tidbits to mention about sparrows is the importance of ragweed — that hated allergenic plant is vitally important for the overwintering sparrows. The seeds of that are frequently eaten. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62a8be5c4ef3ef65ac08bb6f/1769293354938-IWD0F2Q1HNNGBAROS0V1/Savannah+Sparrow_Charley+2.JPG PRAIRIE NOTES - Prairie Notes #230- A Host of Sparrows Savannah Sparrow (Passerculus sandwichensis). Photo by Charley. - The Savannah Sparrow was named in 1838 by the French naturalist Charles Bonaparte. The English name "Savannah sparrow" was introduced in 1811 by the Scottish-American ornithologist Alexander Wilson who had first seen the species on the coast near Savannah, Georgia. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62a8be5c4ef3ef65ac08bb6f/1769293414405-K3KBATF6JDSC1MUM702U/Fox+Sparrow_Keandre.jpg PRAIRIE NOTES - Prairie Notes #230- A Host of Sparrows Fox Sparrow (Passerella iliaca). Photo by Keandre Rush. - Fox sparrows are a generally common bird within their range. They forage by scratching the ground which makes them vulnerable to cats and other predators. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62a8be5c4ef3ef65ac08bb6f/1769293471910-8JCNSPTEP2JBDBHCKX0Z/Lincoln%27s+Sparrow_Keandre.jpg PRAIRIE NOTES - Prairie Notes #230- A Host of Sparrows Lincoln's Sparrow (Melospiza lincolnii). Photo by, Keandre Rush. - Lincoln's sparrow was named by John James Audubon after his friend Thomas Lincoln of Dennysville, Maine.[5][6] Lincoln shot the bird on an expedition with Audubon to Nova Scotia in 1834, and Audubon named it in honor of his travel companion. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62a8be5c4ef3ef65ac08bb6f/1769293557469-QDD5W8R62IOEFV032Q3Q/Chipping+Sparrow_Sam.jpeg PRAIRIE NOTES - Prairie Notes #230- A Host of Sparrows Chipping Sparrow (Spizella passerina). Photo by, Sam Kieschnick. - The "Chippie" gets its most familiar nickname from its high-pitched song. The Chipping Sparrow was once known as the "hair bird" due to its habit of lining its nests with horse hair, which was readily available when horses were the main form of transportation. Once horses gave way to automobiles, Chipping Sparrows had to switch to other types of hair to line their nests. Although the nickname of "hair bird" went the way of the horse and carriage, this sparrow still seeks soft hair to line its nest — now mostly from deer, cows, and smaller mammals. ~American Bird Conservancy~ https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62a8be5c4ef3ef65ac08bb6f/1769293647364-EAQMQJFDDMLPYT07YRRO/Clay-colored+Sparrow_Ad+Konings.jpg PRAIRIE NOTES - Prairie Notes #230- A Host of Sparrows Clay-colored Sparrow (Spizella pallida). Photo by, Ad Konings. - Clay-colored Sparrow young leave the nest before they can fly. They hop to the ground from their nest in a shrub and run an average of 40 feet to seek cover in a thicket, where their parents will continue to feed them. They won’t fly for the first time for another 6 to 8 days. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62a8be5c4ef3ef65ac08bb6f/1769293712370-R50SOW24HPSN1Y16RQ52/White-crowned+Sparrow_Ad+Konings.jpg PRAIRIE NOTES - Prairie Notes #230- A Host of Sparrows White-crowned Sparrow (Zonotrichia leucophrys). Photo by, Ad Konings. - The white-crowned sparrow is known for its unihemispheric slow-wave sleep, which allows it to stay half-awake for up to two weeks during migration. This effect has been studied for possible human alertness applications in shift work and truck driving. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62a8be5c4ef3ef65ac08bb6f/1769293766927-2O18B90KYZ98EJ6YXDA4/Vesper+Sparrow_Keandre.jpg PRAIRIE NOTES - Prairie Notes #230- A Host of Sparrows Vesper Sparrow (Pooecetes gramineus). Photo by, Keandre Rush. - As its name suggests, it frequently sings in the twilight of vespers—a sweet series of musical slurs and trills. A vesper is an evening prayer. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62a8be5c4ef3ef65ac08bb6f/1769293999303-FWSCK8NCR1MAZG9OJXIY/IMG_0765.jpeg PRAIRIE NOTES - Prairie Notes #230- A Host of Sparrows Harris's Sparrow (Zonotrichia querula). Photo by Don Young. - It's not often that a sparrow takes center stage, but the Harris's Sparrow is a showstopper with its handsome black bib and pink bill. It’s North America's largest sparrow (except for towhees) and the only songbird that breeds in Canada and nowhere else in the world. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62a8be5c4ef3ef65ac08bb6f/1769294136234-I7WAOMLD60CF4J22DHGG/Grasshopper+Sparrow_brentano+2.jpg PRAIRIE NOTES - Prairie Notes #230- A Host of Sparrows Grasshopper Sparrow (Ammodramus savannarum). Photo by, brentano. - Appropriately for this species, grasshoppers are the primary prey. Adults prepare grasshoppers for chicks by removing the legs of the insects, vigorously shaking them off pair by pair. The primary male song, a high trill preceded by a stereotyped series of short chips, is reminiscent of the sounds of grasshoppers. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62a8be5c4ef3ef65ac08bb6f/1769294246468-BR1XTWYYM2SAWBMCB46C/Lark+Sparrow_a-tristis+2.jpeg PRAIRIE NOTES - Prairie Notes #230- A Host of Sparrows Lark Sparrow (Chondestes grammacus). Photo by, a-tristis. - This large sparrow may be brown, but its harlequin facial pattern and white tail spots make it a standout among sparrows. Males sing a melodious jumble of churrs, buzzes, and trills reminiscent of an Old World lark. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62a8be5c4ef3ef65ac08bb6f/1769294299860-6HPWCZKDZA4HXWVAN4CZ/Cassin%27s+Sparrow_jblinde.jpeg PRAIRIE NOTES - Prairie Notes #230- A Host of Sparrows Cassin's Sparrow (Peucaea cassinii). Photo by, jblinde. - In his display flight, the male Cassin's Sparrow flies straight up and then floats downward on fixed wings, singing the entire time. This kind of display is unusual in sparrows but fairly common in larks, and is often called "skylarking." https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62a8be5c4ef3ef65ac08bb6f/eb13f2d5-33f6-45a5-aa51-44c20ad61127/IMG_0659.jpeg PRAIRIE NOTES - Prairie Notes #230- A Host of Sparrows - Make it stand out The January 8th sunset was spectacular. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62a8be5c4ef3ef65ac08bb6f/1769380067324-2LRV007IK40OHHF8CDC1/IMG_0510.jpeg PRAIRIE NOTES - Prairie Notes #230- A Host of Sparrows A large flock of Cormorants flying over Tandy Hills in January. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62a8be5c4ef3ef65ac08bb6f/1769380069846-7H0MY2DTZT72M7A8FYFZ/IMG_0511.jpeg PRAIRIE NOTES - Prairie Notes #230- A Host of Sparrows Cormorants in flight. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62a8be5c4ef3ef65ac08bb6f/7eba54b3-03ad-44a0-bbca-1c187896b560/IMG_0590_1%3A02%3A2026.jpeg PRAIRIE NOTES - Prairie Notes #230- A Host of Sparrows - Make it stand out Full Moon on, January 2nd, 2026. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62a8be5c4ef3ef65ac08bb6f/1769380278920-302UL4EZE0676LTB8RVU/DSC_2787.jpeg PRAIRIE NOTES - Prairie Notes #230- A Host of Sparrows Do you see it?

Someone asked: "Do we really need another Thoreau book?" Hell yes! This one is due in October and features essays by 27 contemporary writers, all of them are near the top of their fields and major award winners including several Pulitzer finalists. In other words not the usual famous nature writers you would expect. The book’s title comes from words Thoreau reportedly spoke as he neared his death, in 1862.

Lon Burnam - “Friends of Tandy Hills Natural Area provides two absolutely essential functions - it helps to preserve one of the last areas of original Texas prairie easily accessible to city dwellers and it also provides education to those city dwellers on why this land is so valuable to us now and as a part of our heritage. I don't know what we would do without the Friends or Tandy Hills.” – State Rep.

We rode our bikes through the forest, fished natural ponds and played baseball in fields marked out in the native grass. As I grew up, Dallas and Fort Worth grew out. All too quickly these natural places were absorbed into the concrete and glass of progress. There is little left of it now, but that world still exists in a few places. You might mistake them for simple fields, but they are the unplowed earth, grasses of the old Indians and flowers that only remain in these overlooked hills. I have long been a supporter of Friends of Tandy Hills because it’s comprised of the people that believe in the value of the prairie that remains. I am lucky because I saw it all once before it was gone. But the eyes of our children can only see it in these few remaining places like Tandy Hills.” –James D.

They recognized the potential of a neglected city park and helped turn it into a living classroom for all ages. But not the stuffy kind.

Tandy Hills Natural Area is a jewel of North Texas beauty tucked in an urban area. As urban development expands, the natural world in DFW will be increasingly put under pressure, making Tandy Hills invaluable to future generations of North Texans.” – Paul Slavens, host of the Paul Slavens Show on KXT 91.7 FM https://www.tandyhills.org/testimonials-copernicus daily 0.75 2022-06-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62a8be5c4ef3ef65ac08bb6f/1655226038927-REZUI7DLXDFYXQJNZ4AW/16_0.jpg Testimonials - Copernicus - “Finally, we shall place Tandy Hills herself at the center of the Universe.” – Nicolaus Copernicus, Astronomer & mathematician (1473 - 1543) https://www.tandyhills.org/trout-lily-walk-with-sam-kieschnick daily 0.75 2026-02-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62a8be5c4ef3ef65ac08bb6f/f2880b58-d1d0-4751-9eb9-54d43f49353e/TL+Walk_2025_lowres.jpg Trout Lily Walk with Sam Kieschnick - Saturday, March 1st, 2025, at 4 PM Tandy Hills Natural Area, aka:, The Land that Time Forgot, is home to many rare and uncommon plant species. One of the most eagerly anticipated of them is the diminutive yet striking, Trout Lily (Erythronium albidum). Being one of the first wildflowers to bloom each year it is sometimes called, the harbinger of Spring. Their golden-throated white trumpets hang from curvy stems nestled inside mottled leaves that resemble speckled trout. They are scattered across the Tandy hills and hollers, hiding in secret places that Sam will lead us to. Please RSVP to: info@tandyhills.org for the 18th Annual Trout Lily Walk.

Vary rarely do we get to work on preservation projects, the difference is significant. Often the restoration work involves cleaning up a big ecological mess, which can be drag. The preservation work is almost always on private property. This is what makes Tandy Hills so special. Keeping it like it was and available to the public should be cause enough for celebration. But to have the Kids on the Prairie learning so much and the Prairie Fest celebrating so much makes the bigger picture so easy to see. You gals and guys up there have something truly special. The Native peoples understood this well, and for that knowledge fought and died. Not to own the land but to learn from, celebrate, and protect it. Friends of Tandy Hills is a model program that should be adopted in every city, If it were my life’s work I would be proud.” – George Cates & Emily Neiman, Native American Seed https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62a8be5c4ef3ef65ac08bb6f/1655226132435-GM7LAR64E54VECVEBGET/Purple+Paintbrush+copy.JPG Testimonials - Native American Seed - North Texas Giving Day Few people get what we do at Tandy Hills better than George, Emily, and the rest of the Neiman family.
