In an earlier post, I asked for input for how to tell the difference between a Song Sparrow and a Savannah Sparrow. From that post and the generous input from quietsolopursuits and Bluebird Annie, I learned that Savannah Sparrows have pink bills, a yellow ‘eyebrow’ and their streaks on the breast are finer than a Song Sparrow’s. So whadya think? Did I finally get a Savannah?
Flights of Wonder 
Judy, yes, I think you have a Savannah here. :-),
And a fine photo it is. 🙂
Thanks, Bob, for the confirmation. Savannah Sparrow – check. Grin.
I, too, believe it’s a Savannah. Nice photo.
That’s two confirmations!! Check – Check! 😉
That’s a Savannah Sparrow for sure, and a good photo of it to ID it from!
Thanks so much!! Now to distinguish a Swamp Sparrows…. 🙂
Terrific shot of this cutie!
Thanks so much for visiting, and taking the time to comment. I appreciate the encouragment!
I think indeed you do have yourself a Savannah Sparrow! Nice shot!
Thanks so much! 🙂
Oh lovely, he looks very like our Song Thrush which is mostly brown but has a cream speckled breast.
I will definitely have to look up the Song Thrush and learn about them! I do believe I also saw a Hermit Thrush on the same trip – which I will post about today or tomorrow!
