Had breakfast outside McDonald's this AM and saw all these little fellows. Several were dusting themselves. Got a good video of that, but don't know if it would be appropriate to upload it.

Anyway, are they sparrows. I think they are, but a search didn't do me any good.

Thank guys.

I was thinking that, but changed my mind because I didn't see a lot of striping/marking on their chests.

Is that only with male house sparrows?

Yep, the makes have a black 'bib' that the females don't have.
