Tony Leukering 2,279 Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 The first bird is, I believe, a juvenile Brewer's Sparrow: 1) a very long and seemingly narrow tail; 2) a crown with fairly strong and relatively dense streaking 3) a smallish bill 4) lacks strongly rufescent edges on the greater secondary coverts 5) lacks strongly patterned scapulars Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cypresscreek 2 Posted August 13, 2020 Author Share Posted August 13, 2020 I had initially thought it was a Brewer's sparrow also Quote Link to post Share on other sites
