owletbird 0 Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Any idea what sparrow this would be. I know the sound it made to look but there are so many to look through! Zimmerman, MN today Quote Link to post Share on other sites

What? In Minnesota? How is this a Cassin's Sparrow exactly? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tony Leukering 2,297 Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Sorry. Dyslexic moment turned the MN into NM. Field Sparrow it probably is. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Haha, I was so confused for a second. Beyond location, the long-tailed appearance and shape of the streaking should be enough- as you know Cassin's has a 'scalloped' look on the back as opposed to the vertical stripes of most species, including Field Sparrow.
