Hey Everyone,

We're new to birdwatching and new to this site.  (Just bought a house with a nice lot size and we're hoping to become seasoned backyard naturalists.)

This is our first bird snapshots, (a little weak I know, shot thru our window), but we're stumped as to what species of Sparrow it is, Tree? House?

Any help?  Many thanks,

David

Black-capped Chickadee.. they're great fun. You can even get them to take sunflower seeds out of your hand.
