Thanks Maria. They are beautiful sparrows, more colorful and larger than most other sparrows.

Thanks Ashley. These guys aren't too common around here, but I usually get a few that come to my feeders during their migration. You'll get to see them along with a ton of other critters with all the time you spend outdoors.

Great pictures! They are such pretty sparrows, and I still need them for my life list! Is that sad? haha
