MarkG Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Hello, Seen a few days ago in Chapel Hill, NC. This is the season of the sparrow around here. Mostly I see White-throated and Song Sparrows, but I'm always looking for the different sparrow in the crowd. I do see Swamp's and occasionally a Fox or Savannah. I'm not sure if the two photos are of the same bird, but I thought these were Swamp Sparrow's although I thought I'd ask for another opinion or two. Thanks!

Avery Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Yup! SWSP (that seems like the wrong code...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birding Boy Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Agreed with SWSP. Note the Buffy, unstreaked sides, mostly gray face, and rufous wings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why the apostrophe in the second iteration of the plural of sparrow? I realize that my question is not germane to the subject, but I just cannot resist any further.

I think this is the dreaded autocorrect rearing its head. I know mine is completely unpredictable when it recommends one over the other.
