Went to Exeter Wastewater on Thanksgiving morning.

Good variety of birds including:
bluebirds
harrier
snow bunting 
horned lark
no ruddy duck

On my way out I saw a white throated sparrow and another sparrow with it.  I don't think the other sparrow is white throated.  The other sparrow looks like a chipping sparrow but not sure with its orange beak.  I am not ruling out a white crowned sparrow, but interested to see what others think.

Looks like a chipping sparrow. Perhaps a juvenile born this year molted into its first adult plumage (hence the beak color)?
