As the subject line says...I am SO excited about the new bird I saw this morning...I apologize in advance for the poor photo quality but I don't have a tripod and my hands were shaking in my excitement!
I knew it was a sparrow but not the usual White-throated or Chipping...is this a Harris? Here's the first pic...
Second pic, side view...immature winter plumaged Harris?
Wow what a Jumbo. He may be a stray but all signs point to a Harris Sparrow! Congrats!
EEEE! Thanks, Burd_Fotos!!! That's what I thought it was...the pink bill and bib pointed to a Harris but I'm a little East of their range so I wasn't sure...What a great pre-Christmas gift!
Congratulations! I know the feeling ^_^
Merry Christmas!
Yep, definite Harris's. Worth reporting to your local area bird recorder, if they're rare where you are.

Congratulations!! It is so exciting to find a new bird in your area. (By the way I, too, get to shaking when I get excited when I see a new bird-it's a normal reaction)
