DESCRIPTION:
The bird in the image is a male House Sparrow (Passer domesticus). It is characterized by its compact, stout body, streaky brown back and wings, and a grayish breast and belly. The head features a distinct pattern with a dark cap, a dark line extending from the eye, and whitish cheeks. Its robust, conical beak is well-suited for cracking seeds, and it is shown here with a sunflower seed in its mouth, actively feeding from the bird feeder.
