Fox Sparrow, actually.
New Year's Resolutions:
Get my lifelist to 300 (at the time of the original writing-293, currently-294)
Finally get Mountain Quail and Vesper Sparrow
Top my previous single year best (2011-253) I'm at 210 as of 6/11.

Thank you very much! I seem to have trouble with a lot of the sparrows.

What are you seeing that says Fox Sparrow? It would be a very early migrant, if so, and I don't see anything there to rule out Song Sparrow.

Here's another picture, but I don't know if it will help much.

The fuzziness of the pic and the glare from the window behind me made it look like a Fox Sparrow.

Song Sparrow for me. Seems to have too much of a broad, white malar stripe for a Fox and it looks fairly long-tailed. The photo does look dark, but I don't see any reddish color to point to a Fox.

Latest birds: Northern Goshawk, Greater Sage-grouse, Sage Sparrow
