Time to study up on sparrows -- Vesper, Savannah, Field, American Tree, Chipping and Song Sparrows are all likely to be encountered while out and about. I have trouble with them when they're being uncooperative, which some of them tend to be.
But today, a few White-throated Sparrows made things a little easier for me -- they're a bit more obvious even at a short glance.
Other less-common birds on a drizzly day were a Lesser Yellowlegs and a Belted Kingfisher. Yellow-rumped Warblers are abundant.
