Bird of the Day
American Tree Sparrow −
Spizella arborea
 
 
 
 
 
 
After paying our dues to the cold, the birding gods smiled on us with a shining display of American Tree Sparrows, song sparrows, and American Goldfinches all working a weedy patch at Teller Farm. The weeds were covered in hoar frost which made for some spectacular images. American Tree Sparrows are not usually considered feeder birds, but in certain harsh conditions like deep snow, they may come to your bird feeders. I have had a few in my backyard this week.
