True enough, Kathleen, we had quite a few White-throated Sparrows over this=
past season but have not seen any for much of the summer though.=A0But def=
initely could be that too. Certainly are quite a variety of sparrows & junc=
os out there right now!

Did you check White-throated Sparrows? They can have some pretty reddish co=
lour on their wings and tail, and immatures or tan-striped individuals (whi=
ch you might be seeing) look a bit different from the typical white-striped=
adults.

Subject: [NatureNS] Bird Identification If Possible
Hello all,
=A0
At this time of year when there are many young birds, obviously, not in adu=
lt plumage, I'm sure I am not the only one sometimes wondering what types o=
f song birds these are,=A0that are appearing..
=A0
For the last couple of days, there have been a small group of sparrow-type =
birds, a little larger than the song sparrows (but hanging around with), sp=
ending time on the ground of my newly seeded backyard.=20
=A0
They remind me very much of Fox Sparrows, with their deep chestnut coloured=
feathers on some of the body feathers and on their longish tail feathers t=
oo. But, the streaks on their chest and on the streaks on their heads are a=
=A0fairly deep grey colour.
=A0
I've been pouring over my Sibley's but cannot find any type of sparrow (mai=
nly because that's the types of birds that mostly frequent my backyard thes=
e days) that look like these particular birds.
=A0
Any ideas from anyone with this (not so good) description?
=A0
Thank you,
=A0
