CLOSED: Sparrow

Song Sparrow?

Darn it - I bet everyone is going to tell me this is a female Red-winged Blackbird. Oh Well.

Edited a few minutes later, maybe my original guess is right! I see the blackbird - Female has a black beak. I can't wait to find out.

Doesn't look right for Song Sparrow, thinking it may be a Savannah Sparrow, but not 100% sure. At least, definitely not a R-w Blackbird!

Thanks, either one would be a new bird for me. I guess I'm going back to the reserve to see if I can get a better photo.

I agree with Resin on the sSavannah, especially with those facial markings.

Match's my field guide as a "Belding's" form Savannah Sparrow.

Thanks everyone
