American Tree Sparrow (female&male)

Spizella arborea

Description:

Cute little birds, they don't care for the suet, but love the little seeds i through out for them.

Notes:

The American Tree Sparrows have much more of a brownish-red (copper) colour than red on the red like the Redpolls.

Thanks Fyn Kynd! for pointing out the American Tree Sparrow, I'm going to go with your suggestion on I.D.
- No dark bib on the birds in this spotting.

Also to note for the future Fyn Kynd, you can tell these two bird species apart by the bib the Redpolls have.

Thank you for the suggestion Fyn Kynd, but I'm going to hold on to the I.D. i have for this spotting for now. They are very similar birds ~ http://www.birdzilla.com/birds/Common-Re...
