Can anyone identify this bird?

by Aubrey K. Huggins
(Kingston, Ontario)

Is this a Sparrow of some kind?

Is this a Sparrow of some kind?

This pretty bird has been coming to my back yard and feeder for a couple of days now. I am not sure what it is! Does anyone here know what kind of bird this is?

Judging by the little bit of red on his neck, I would think he is a Purple Finch. Or, a House Sparrow. You can Google either name, and you'll get plenty of pictures so you can tell for yourself.

I live in Mississauga and have a bird feeder. Today I saw a small sparrow-looking bird, but he had a reddish head, neck and chest. Not like the Robin. Wow!

starstarstarstarstar 		Some ideas to start looking for an answer

Here are two sites that you can send your question to.

I suggest that you use the top one first as they respond back a lot faster. You will need to tell them where you saw the bird, what it eats, the other birds that it hangs out with and the song it calls with.

Oh and send them your picture as well!

Good luck and I hope this helps you :)

SG.
