[Female House Sparrow?]

Well, a couple of great lessons for me.

I thought I did my homework when I went to Austin.

I got a regional list of species that went back two months.

A Field Sparrow had not been reported in the Austin area since January, so not on my hit list.

I am very poor at identifying, but this "House Sparrow" bothered me enough so that I was

willing to go through the self imposed embarrassment of the subject line.

As usual, you guys are great!  This is a lifebird!

[Female House Sparrow?]

Just to make sure, taken a month ago in Austin, TX

[Song Sparrow]

bump

glad it wasn't easy

[Song Sparrow]
