On Monday the 7 I took a trip to Mount Falcon above Indian Hills, always a favorite spot. I found may of the 'typical' birds here, juncos, pygmy nuthatches ect, but the surprises was four Lincoln Sparrows still present. In the area I got two photos of a passerin I could not ID in the field thinking I could ID it from my photos later. I just downloaded the photos but I am still stumped. I think it's a sparrow, but I can't find it. Maybe a House Sparrow? It has a somewhat buffy face with a distinctive black line running behind the eye along with a white breast and what looks like a pale colored beak. The photos are not the best but I am hoping there good enough to ID this bird. So if someone could give me an idea that would be appreciated. Here's a link to my ebird checklist, the photos are the end of the list under passerin.
