Hello all,

Today I came home from work to find a sparrow picking through the seeds I 
put out this morning that I haven't seen in my yard before.  I think it was 
a fox sparrow.  It was much larger than the white-throated sparrow also 
picking through the snow.  It had a lot of gray with much reddish brown 
color and a very streaked breast with white under parts.  I live in Lorain 
County and was wondering if this would be rare to see here at this time of 
year.  I posted a photo at rarebird in their northeast Ohio forum if anyone 
would like to see or can confirm my ID.  The photo is not very good but the 
best I could get.

Thanks,

Matt Vosniak
