Confirm song sparrows

[sbruenjes]

I saw these birds over the last few days in northern New Jersey. I think they have to be song sparrows, but the streaking on the breast has me less than 100% confident. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I =think= the first two are Song, but that the third one is Fox.  Definitely wait for other opinions.  I've never seen Song from this angle, and never seen a Fox.

These should all be Song Sparrows. Fox Sparrows don't occur in New Jersey in June. The third bird lacks the yellow bill that eastern (Red) Fox Sparrows have. The first two might be young birds.

Thanks.  I'm on some meds this afternoon and I'm not bringing my 'A game'.  Although I can't use that excuse the rest of the time, or that my A game is much in the first place.

Yikes! I hope things improve tomorrow! And your A game is quite good.

I agree with all being Song Sparrows and the first two being juveniles.
