Participant Photo: Any Ideas? Please Help Identify :-)

Sent this in to Matt at BirdWatchingDaily.com and he couldn’t identify it. We don’t get Harris Sparrows & never saw a House Sparrow ever this far north in my neck of the woods. I would love to know what kind of Sparrow it is. It’s a larger one. 6 inches at least. Thanks!

Hi Joan:

Nice find, it is the Harris’s Sparrow and they are large.

Cheers,

Gary

  Thanks Gary…haven’t seen one until now so they must be spreading into new territories for food.

    The picture I sent Matt from BirdWatchers wasn’t this exact one & not as cleasr and why he didn’t get such a good look at so little black spotting on his breast and head perhaps.
