| I've been feeding a couple of hundred goldfinches and field sparrows, seriously, in addition to "my regulars."
So this guy showed up for the first time today.

| Very cool! It looks like a partial albino female. Genetic mutations are pretty cool when you get to see them. Nice pics too. Oh, your Field Sparrows are actually Chipping Sparrows. Field Sparrows do not have the dark line through the eye. BN |

| Hey BN, thank you so much for the proper sparrow ID. For the past couple of months I was thinking Chipping. Then recently, after more "research" I switched to Field. And you point out such an obvious mark / trait that eluded me. The Cardinal seemed to almost glow as it flew to and fro, due to it very light color. I did a WHAT THE **** when first seeing it! |
