[TN-Bird] Tree Sparrow in Bellevue TN

River Plantation Section X
Davidson Co.
Bellevue, TN
23 Jan. 2005

Sunday's cold brought a smile to the faces of my wife Bonnie 
and me.  We enjoyed watching a single TREE SPARROW come to 
the bird seed spread on the ground below the feeders at 
our home on the southwest side of Nashville.  It was 
feeding there for most of the day along with several other
types of sparrows.  We had nice comparisons with several 
FIELD SPARROWS that also visited.  Although the TREE SPARROW's
plumage was not as bright as others I have seen, we got great
looks at its full rufous cap, bicolored bill, and stickpin 
breastspot while we stood inside our warm house.
