twitchy Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 This bird was sighted at the feeder around 7:30 am and then again around noon. Those in the household here are in disagreement about which species we are looking at. At least 17 varieties of sparrow have been recorded in this county. We have spotted a song sparrow and a white-throated sparrow recently. Any info is appreciated. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akandula Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 (edited) I agree with a Field Sparrow. Note the pink conical bill, plain face, thin white eyering, and rusty crown and eyeline. Edited April 25, 2020 by akandula 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twitchy Posted April 25, 2020 Author Share Posted April 25, 2020 Thanks all. We had thought it might be a clay-colored sparrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The all-pink bill rules out nearly all other sparrow species, and all but one on the Bruce. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
