ReplyDeleteThank you for this. I have never known the differences among the sparrows.
ReplyDeleteI'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!
ReplyDeletewhwn I first started birding I could not tell one sparrow from another. I've enjoyed learning of all the markings that identify their individuality!
ReplyDeleteI've not seen a Savannah sparrow before. I'm glad you could post it.
