What a sweet little bird!

The Fox Sparrow would like to have a word with your manager.

They are not fond of strange people traipsing around their territory, and they let you know about it.

I’ve never met a fox sparrow that stops at “a” word! 😂

I'll have to look closer at my backyard birds to see if there are any up here ( I'm North of you).

They behave very similarly to towhees, the way they scratch at the leaves and soil.

Thanks, I'll sit outside and watch the areas the towhees like to hang out.

chevron bellies for the win. I also love seeing Fox sparrow from all over the country to note the local color variation I love our cocoa powder chubbies

They're such gorgeous sparrows.
