House Sparrow

Passer domesticus - Abundant on farms and in cities and suburbs. The male is recognized by his black bib and bill and white cheeks. The female is often confused with other sparrows or female buntings; the unstreaked dingy breast, the bold buffy eye line, and the streaked back are the best field marks. Song is a long series of monotonous musical chirps. This sprightly young fellow was picking off bugs from the tree just out of our bedroom window.
