Yard Critter of the Week - Fox Sparrow

Fox Sparrow.


A large sparrow which spends its summers north of here.


And shows up in our yard in November and has lingered as late as March.


We've had as many as twelve in the yard at one time. But this year we've been seeing five or six on a regular basis.


These images are of three different individuals. The top image from January 2018 and the others from January 2019. We've had them visiting our feeders every winter since we've moved in. Fun to watch as they scratch at the ground looking for seeds,  we look forward to their arrival each year.
