Description

I’ve observed just one female as indicated by the lack of black marking on the throat. She looks a lot like a house sparrow but has yellow eye stripes and yellow on the breast, with grayish coloring at sides of head, a thin black line running down from the lower mandible. her beak is a bit larger and sort of a beige/pinkish color. She showed up on 3/24/16 with a couple of house sparrows and continues to visit the feeders stocked with sunflower chips, seeds, nuts, and dried mealworms. I tried to upload a picture but was unsuccessful. I even have a video clip.
