    Sparrow help - Jug Bay, Maryland, USA

    Hello - I saw this sparrow today at Jug Bay in Maryland. I am puzzled - the bright yellowish pink legs and light colored bill are throwing me off. It was in a scrub meadow with many chipping sparrows, a few white-throated sparrows, at least one swamp sparrow, and a few song sparrows. I was...
