CMac322 Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 I took these photos this morning in Laurel, MD. I can't quite figure out if I am really seeing the yellow on the lores. Could this be a Savannah? Your help is appreciated. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bird Nuts Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 Agree with Savannah. It does have yellow supralorals, but some Savannahs don't have yellow there and some Songs can have yellow tinted superciliums. But Song Sparrows have longer tails and a larger gray bill and they're more of a rich brown color. They also typically have gray cheeks and coarser, blurrier streaking. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Leukering Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 5 hours ago, CMac322 said: the yellow on the lores Savannahs, like many sparrows, have dark lores. The yellow is above the lores, thus supraloral. Besides, the tail is too short and the underparts streaking is too neat for this bird to be a Song.
