American Tree Sparrow (Code 3) 27 Jan 2015
Area: Locally uncommon winter resident, most often in open or wooded brushy areas with other sparrow flocks.
Yard: Rare winter visitor, only one sighting prior to 2015.
Sightings: First bird of year was seen briefly under feeders after a heavy snow, but flew before I could get a photo. On 9 Feb after another storm with freezing rain, a bird spent a few minutes under the feeders and I was able to get some photos (above).
