Same here. I was looking at one sparrow assuming it was a first year white throated sparrow (dark head, dull small patch at throat) but the breast seems all wrong. The breast looks something from a Song or Lincoln's. I hit a wall years ago in my birding. Got all the "easy" stuff and stalled. I never seem to sort out the sparrows, sandpipers, plovers etc. Mary, Fairborn, Greene County, OH On Mar 8, 2008, at 12:21 PM, Craig Holt wrote: > Greetings---like many of you, I'm watching the backyard feeders > pretty intently right now.
