Song Sparrow? I. D. So. California
Doesn't look exactly like the other Song Sparrows that I have photographed. Doesn't seem to have the blotch on the chest. Could it be just a juvenile Song Sparrow? Excuse its dirty beak, it has been digging in the mud.

Yes, Song Sparrow - adult though - this is a pretty variable species and the breast spot is not on all birds.

Hiya,
Very variable species: I've got some similar photos of southern Song Sparrows (and western and eastern ones) on my blog at http://www.charliesbirdblog.com/~cha...ngsparrow.html Cheers |
