White-faced Song Sparrow

For most of the winter, our yard in Portsmouth is besieged with House Sparrows, and I occasionally scan the flock for something more interesting, such as the time a Dickcissel hung out with them for a few days. A few White-throated Sparrows spend the winter and a couple of Song Sparrows pop in and out of the feeder, but as spring approaches the sparrow action gets more exciting.
