I was thinking this was a Harris's Sparrow but the beak is the wrong color I think. Most sparrows have a yellow-ish beak and this one is dark or black. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

wow, you can tell I'm a novice at bird id. That would explain why the male was hanging around. I didn't know the female wasn't black! Dave

Beekeeper Goldmember More info | Apr 18, 2015 16:24 | #6 Habitat, behavior, and vocalizations can all help pin down an ID. I've been studying birds for years, and there is always more to learn. That's part of the fun for me. Zach--C&C is welcome on my photos

I see these birds everyday and had no idea what they were! Thanks for the help, I looked in my bird guide but couldn't find it.
