Title: Sparrow ID
Post by: Dinusaur on March 29, 2015, 08:14:58 PM

I was in Downsview this afternoon when a flock of these sparrows flew in. They looked too colorful to be house sparrow. I managed to get a couple of shots of one of them before they all flew away to the nearby hill. May be something as obvious as an American Tree Sparrow - unfortunately I don't have any other views.

Yes, it is American Tree Sparrow.
