Title: Calling all Sparrow Specialists
Post by: Canoncan on September 02, 2007, 10:48:08 PM

This was taken Sept first at Halls Road. At first glance I just assumed it was a Song Sparrow, then thought Savannah because of the yellow. Now I am just not sure. Any and all opinions wanted.

I think Savannah Sparrow is a good bet, although the head markings do not appear to be very strong. Juvenile?

Reckon your first impressions was on the ball: long tail, short wings, large bill .... looks like a Song Sparrow to me.
