White Crowned Sparrow

[Jim Jensen]

Spring must be here, I have seen many different species of birds in my yard.

White Crowned Sparrow

White Throated Sparrow

Female White Throated Sparrow (I'm Guessing)

American Goldfinch

Downy Woodpecker (Maybe a Hairy Woodpecker)

Sharp Shinned Hawk

your female white throated may be a fox sparrow.

beautiful pictures! I had my very first ever white crested sparrow this year also. Had a sparrow hawk hanging around all winter taking sparrows off my feeders. The robins are eagerly eating the grape jelly, although I can't wait for the Orioles to arrive! Goldfinches are plentiful, as are the house finches and crossbeaks. Had a Northern flicker on my suets

and even a Pileated showed up. Can't wait to see who else shows!

Nice job, I'd like to see a white crowned.

The third sparrow image is 100% song sparrow.

Nice images.

Lucky you were guessing! You can't sneak anything by on this site it seems. I'm guessing it's the black dot on the breast that's an indicator.

Yeah, it's got all the classic song sparrow field marks.

FWIW, sexes are alike in appearance regarding white-throated sparrows. The tan/dusky ones are a color morph, not females. You get the tans and the whites, and either of them can be male or female.

IMO, the white-crowned sparrow gives the male Harris's sparrow a run for its money as classiest looking.
