Hi! I am new here and someone from the newbie intro forum suggested that I post this here. I saw this new bird feeding from the bits that were dropping from my suet feeder. He was stocky with a white eye ring. His tail was reddish and he flitted it often. His beak looked more thrush-ish than sparrow-ish to me. His breast was white with brown spots/streaks. At first I thought he was a Fox Sparrow but the beak just seems too slender. Any ideas? Someone over at the newbie forum thought he may be a Swainson's Thrush. That brings him pretty out of his area, no? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much.
