Sparrows are a pain in the neck for me sometimes but some I get used to. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

John Landon 40 Posted February 5 Bird 2 field sparrow. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Bird Nuts 1,148 Posted February 5 12 minutes ago, John Landon said: Bird 2 field sparrow. #2 and #3 are both immature White-crowned Sparrows (I can't see the first photo). Field Sparrows have softer orange crowns, eyelines, and backs and their eyelines are wider toward the back. Fields are also shaped a bit differently than White-crowneds.

Tony Leukering 122 Posted February 11 Juvenile White-crowned Sparrow is streaked below. Immatures are not. Terminology is important. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
