Ed Lyons Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 This photo was taken in my front yard in Klamath Falls on October 13. The closest match I can find is a Verdin, but Oregon is way out of range. Looks like it is in the sparrow/finch family? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed Lyons Posted October 21, 2019 Author Share Posted October 21, 2019 Yes, even with the dark beak. iBird does not have it, but I found it on Audobon. It is a nonbreeding male. Thank you! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Leukering Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 Indeed, you are correct, because neither of its parents were Verdins. ? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
