Sparrows

White Throated Sparrow

New sparrow visited my yard, first time ever. Took awhile to get its photo, it was in constant motion scratching up the ground. Wasn't quite sure what I had until I was able to see the yellow above the eyes. This one is the tan strip morph. There is also a white stripe morph, males and females look alike. Interesting fact, they always mate with the other color morph. And the behavior is different depending on which color morph.
