House Sparrow
View RecordingDESCRIPTION:The bird captured in the image is a small, plump passerine with a robust build. Its plumage is predominantly dull brown and gray. Key features include a noticeably streaked brown back, a plainer, buffy-gray chest and belly, and a brown head with a less defined eye stripe compared to males. The beak is short, conical, and stout, well-suited for eating seeds like those visible in the feeder. This coloration and pattern are characteristic of a female or juvenile House Sparrow.
