A field sparrow (western? race) has been in my front yard for at least 3 days. What struck me first was the pink bill. Its breast is clear, crown reddish, and upper back streaked. I finally got a great look by my front porch so I am now confident of the id. It is eating seeds that I threw out on ground for doves. It seems to be alone.

I'll try to get an image. Please call if you would like to see it. 303-263-1714.
