gpoole Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 That bold white eye-ring and white edged tail feathers has me thinking Vesper Sparrow. Wait for others to respond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gpoole Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 A closer look at your bird and a look at Sibley has changed my mind. I now agree with with Grasshopper. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
