P2740576.JPG Song Sparrow (Melospiza melodia)

This Song Sparrow began singing at our back yard, last year that meant a nest 15' away from us. Rare in our valley in the summer as they are most often at higher altitudes/ latitudes then. I can only hope it does this again

A fabulous frontal close-up of this charming Song Sparrow. Brilliant to have it in your back yard. I hope it shows up again this year, or maybe one of its offspring. TFS Gregg!
