I just saw an interesting bird on one of my feeders and I could use some help
identifying it. Here's what I could see.
It had black streaks almost down to the end of its belly.
It has a grayish (maybe brown) back with some white.
Its breast and belly are white.
It was sparrow size and sparrow like.
It ate seeds at a hanging feeder filled with mixed blend seeds.
It traveled alone.
I think it has dark legs.
It also eats at a tube feeder with mixed blend.
It has a short, small bill and I'd estimate the bird is at least 5 to 6".
The gray on its back stops at the top of its wings. It's head is a tan white,
almost the same as it's breast.
It is NOT a junco.
It hasn't set foot on the ground to feed.
The tail seems darker than its breast.
I will send more descriptions as I see it.
Thanks!
Sam Lawson
Bird on!
