Hello,
I'm new to the province, to naturens, and to having the time to actually observe and enjoy birds in the country. We have enjoyed the usual Blue Jays and Mourning Doves and Black-capped Chickadees and Dark-eyed Juncos all winter. Also, American Goldfinches and their recent change into breeding plumage and lately, lots of beautiful Purple Finches (to me they look like they've spilled strawberry jam all over themselves). Right now I'm trying to identify various brown birds that I think are sparrows. No use trying to describe the subtleties of their markings ... so here is a link to some photos we've taken:

Our highlight so far was seeing an Indigo Bunting, the one that Judy Tufts mentioned a while ago. Ian McLaren confirmed it was a first year spring male that was moulting. If you're interested, here are some photos:

The sad news is that a few days later I found feathers outside between the feeder and the house. After talking with Judy we feel that the little fella' was likely taken by a Sharp-Shinned Hawk .... my first introduction to the "Sharpies" brutal m.o. with their prey ...
Any help with sparrows would be appreciated. I'm using N.G. Field Guide 4th Edition
Anna
