That was my first impression too. I saw someone calling them chippers out there today and I wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparrows are a pain in the neck for me sometimes but some I get used to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Landon Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 Bird 2 field sparrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bird Nuts Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 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 Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 Juvenile White-crowned Sparrow is streaked below. Immatures are not. Terminology is important. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
