Hi All:
An interesting sparrow flew into the top of a wild cherry along my yard
this am very briefly, side view.    My sparrow knowledge is in the
hopeless to needs improvement range, any iedeas out there about this
bird.
Very strong call note ( not Song, I do know theirs- louder)
Light coloured bill( not pink like field )
Very wide light/buffy supercilium, contrasting lateral crown stripe.(
Did not have rufous wings of swamp sp.
Faint wing bars.  Darker auricular area.
Very short straight tail, not notched.
Based on what I do know r/o swamp, field, song , house, grasshopper.

2 late Broadwings
