bird ID (probably a sparrow, but looks a bit different) - 2006/10/13 03:28
What's this little bird?
<http://www.mit.edu/~jfc/yard/sparow.html>
Found in Newton, Massachusetts. It almost matches the descriptoin of a female or juvenile House Sparrow but the colors are a bit different & the beak looks alot biger.
I put out finch food instead of sunflower seeds & got no finches. In short instaed I got these. I read somewhere that the House Sparrow is really more of a finch than a sparrow -- does that mean they like finch food?
(I also put up some colorful finches from Ithaca, NY, at <http://www.mit.edu/~jfc/yard/Ithaca.html>.)
