Subject: Song Sparrow walking on water
Yesterday I saw a song sparrow looking for bugs walking on the lily pads and even hopping on top of the yellow flowers. Has anyone else seen this? This guy has expanded his foraging range now that the lily pads are big.

Yes, I saw this recently with a Red-winged Blackbird, just strolling
across the water lilies foraging for food. It was pretty cool to see.
Here's a photo:
