    Sparrow Stumped Queens NY...

    Salutation fellow birders - I was out today doing some birding and I came across this sparrow (?) that caught my eye. At first, I chalked it up to another Song Sparrow, but the closer I got I began to have my doubts. I got a few photos before it took off; maybe the angle/light has me fooled...

    Another one of those Cooper vs Sharpie question (Queens NY)...

    No better way to start the new year than to have one of those infamous discussion on Cooper's vs Sharpie. Though, it would appear that Tero has devised an ingenuous way of making the call :t: This was photographed this morning, but I have only gotten around to down loading the images. There...
