A Savannah Sparrow for Camera Critters
A second returning sparrow species visited Bird Alley this week. The very distinctive yellow lores of this Savannah Sparrow
immediately alerted me to its presence. Earlier this week a Chipping Sparrow (photo below)
was presentand its red rufus cap made its presence known.
Thank yousparrows for bringing the excitement of spring to my yard with your visits! Hopefully my next returning sparrow visitor will be a Fox sparro with its foxy red colouring.
My appreciative thanks to Misty for hosting this site. To see other participant's photo contributions just click HERE or on the Camera Critters logo on the side panel.

Very lovely visitors. Thanks for sharing them with us:)
Thank you for this. I have never known the differences among the sparrows.
I've got several chipping sparrows that are hanging around. I have never seen that Savannah Sparrow. I'm sure I would remember the yellow stripes now that I've seen your photos!
whwn I first started birding I could not tell one sparrow from another. I've enjoyed learning of all the markings that identify their individuality!
I've not seen a Savannah sparrow before. I'm glad you could post it.
