Those Little Brown Jobs
Sparrows can be frustratingly hard to identify; even if seen well, their confusing array of streaks, crown stripes and facial markings can make them maddeningly hard to tell apart. One interesting bird is the Ipswich Sparrow a subspecies of the Savannah Sparrow. Learn how to tell this bird apart from the Savannah and other sparrows in the Fall 2010 issue of New Hampshire Bird Records: https://nhbirdrecords.org/nhbr-pdfs/V29%20N3%20Fall%202010.pdf. (“Quiz Photo” on page 3 with Answer on page 65).
Other articles in this issue include: Using eBird to Find When and Where a Species Occurs; Musings from Pack Monadnock’s Hawkwatch; Herring and Seabirds: Prey to Industrialized Fishing; and photos and field notes from the 2010 fall season. Enjoy them all!
