Field Trip Results!
Around 40 participants enjoyed a beautiful morning of birding for the Madison Audubon field trip at Pheasant Branch Conservancy on Saturday. Often confused with American Tree Sparrow, the most prevalent sparrow was juvenile White-crowned, like the one pictured above. This field trip is so much fun, I think next year we're going to add a second one late October!

Mike, it is so interesting to read your birding lists and see the photos. We have lots of sparrows now, too, in the northeast. Yesterday we had White-crowned, White-throated, Chipping and Song with a few Dark-eyed Juncos. Our most prevalent right now is the White-throated.
I'm glad you posted that photo. I have lots of those right now, mixed in with white-crowned sparrows. I guess it should have occurred to me that they were juviniles, but it didn't. Keep up the great photos.

Sounds great I seen about the same Birds over here on the east side minus a Sedge Wren.
