This afternoon there was a field sparrow at my feeders. When I saw the pink beak, eye ring & little rusty cap I had to look twice. I was doing Project Feeder Watch today so this was quite a surprise. The bird doesn't stay on the feeder very long, more grab & run, like a chickadee.
Still lots of regulars around, siskins, redpolls, juncos, white throated & tree sparrows & hairy, downy & rb woodpeckers. The field sparrow was using the feeder on the east side of the house, adjacent to the bank over Big Creek. We're at 905 6th Conc. Rd., just west of the Village of Walsingham (north of Long Point, Hwy #59).
