He looks sparrow-like, but he's about a foot long. Was pretty loud too for having so much food in his mouth.

    I'm going with female red-winged blackbird. And I think you're over-estimating the length by a bit. If you were thinking sparrow, I can see how you'd think "Wow, huge," but I'd guess 8".

    Here's a male common yellowthroat. Only other bird I was able to capture today.
