I first spotted what I thought is a song sparrow on the 17th of Jan.  I kept
taking pictures of it because something just didn't seem right.  For the
first time, yesterday I saw two sparrows at the same time so now I'm
wondering if there is a song sparrow and perhaps a Lincolns Sparrow or a
Savannah Sparrow.  
 

One is very shy and never seems to go higher than a couple feet off the
ground.  It gathers some seeds then flies back into its snow cave under a
low bush not to be seen again for 10-15 minutes.

 

Here's some pictures:

Thanks for your help in advance, this has been bugging me for the last
couple weeks!
