Here is a sparrow that I shot this morning, but cannot seem to find the type of sparrow it is.

Can some one tell me what type sparrow this is.

    Try this

    Then search for Nelson's Sharp-tailed Sparrow and look at the 5th picture.

    Great capture. I like the little guys but they sure do frustrate me.

    Wow, I like this very much. Wonderful light on the boid, and the branch adds just enough story and texture. Looks great!

    Hi Stan I agree with you about that. Some images on bird sites are not the greatest, and the one that you pointed to be was good for OKing the bird in question. Thanks again for the kind words and the help in getting this sparrow ID.

    Best Regards.
