Looked through the patio door at lunch time and saw this Fox Sparrow hopping around together with a bunch of Juncos.

I have been hoping to see one in the backyard, or better yet,that unusual rufous sided Junco that I saw earlier in the monthso that I can finally identify it. All I see now is two DE Junco andHouse sparrows. I've given up on Fox sparrow and yet you justspotted one. The odds are against me.

That is a handsome fellow! He knows the lighting is in his favour.
