Mar 15, 2012 10:19 | #3 Thanks Mark, First I thought its a Song Sparrow, but its not, than I tried to ID it by a site I usually go, called What Bird, but could not see this one. There was no dark spot on the chest area. (John) CANON A590 iS - EOS 50D - EF 400mm f/5.6 L USM - EF 50 f/1.8 II - Tamron 17-50 f/2.8 XR Di II - Velbon Sherpa pro - SIGMA DG500-ST

GaryFairhead Cream of the Crop  More info | Mar 15, 2012 12:01 | #9 Nice image and I agree its a an ATS...Field Sparrows have a pinkish beak with the upper beak being darker but still very orangy/pink. The legs and feat on the Field Sparrow are also quite pink. Gary Fairhead C/C welcome .....

I'm not surprised as they are quite common in southern Ontario during the winter months. It's probably my favourite sparrow to photograph this time of year.
