| Fox Sparrow |
I was surprised to see a different bird at the feeders.
I'm pretty sure it's a Fox Sparrow. Especially after a
couple of birder friends suggested it. At first I thought it was
couple of birder friends suggested it. At first I thought it was
a young Harris's Sparrow but at closer inspection I could
see it had different coloring. It had a black spot in the
middle of it's chest. It must be migrating because I've
never seen these before.
After the Snowstorm
The weather channel called it Winter Storm Q

Hi Cindy...I love your photos of this sparrow...I would suggest that this is possibly a Fox Sparrow...The chestnut/rust coloring that I see in your photos makes me think this...I love them (Fox Sparrows) but have only seen them infrequently here in NH...
Hurray for new birds at the feeder :)
AH, love those Cardinals!
Such pretty birds visiting your feeders. I'm wondering if your new sparrow might be a Fox Sparrow. We see them in our area during the spring and fall months. Great photographs, Cindy!
Thank you everyone for the visiting and for the nice comments :-)
Carol and Julie ~ you may be right about it being a Fox Sparrow. I did deliberate about that. Thanks!
Hi Cindy,
I love visiting here to see your bird photos!
Thank you, Carol :-))
Now a Harris Sparrow would be a surprise here in AZ! Cute Fox Sparrow. Congrats on the lifer!
