Tree Sparrow

Too many little fast brown birds. Or greyish brown. Or speckled. Or... arug!

I often take photos for ID purposes. Not because a Tree Sparrow is anything special, but because I suck at ID. Every year I spend about six or seven months trying to remember how to one bird from another. Normally I have it all sorted by the fall... just in time for the migration.

Anyhow, the secret with the Tree Sparrow is the bill. It has two colours. The other (common) little fast brown birds do not.
