Connor Cochrane Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 Chipping Sparrow, note the strong dark eyeline which continues through the eye into the lores, gray nape, overall face pattern, structure. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan P Posted November 8, 2022 Author Share Posted November 8, 2022 Thanks @Connor Cochrane. I was thinking the Chipping Sparrow should have a noticeably rust-colored crown. But this was just before sundown in a shaded area, so the lighting is not so good. Appreciate it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie Spencer Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 @Dan P, I think the rusty crown is on mature birds. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinHood Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 Agree with Chipping Sparrow, looks like a 1st winter bird. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
