Went looking this morning 4-14 at Henricus and have a question regarding
sparrows. I saw a number of song sparrows along the main road flitting back
and forth between the chain link fence row and the marsh area where all the
red-wing blackbirds nest.
I'm not the best sparrow guy but a few of the sparrows looked especially
short-tailed. When I looked closely the tail was indeed short and
notched-not rounded. I checked carefully and could find no yellow on or near
the lores. Any chance it's a Savannah? Has anyone ever seen them at
Henricus?
I should mention that the sparrow was streaked breast & sides with central
spot.
First blue grosbeak and common yellowthroat of year(for me)
Thanks Tom Thomas
