What is the sparrow like bird on the right? I don't seem to be able to find anything with that white eye ring. Perhaps I am focusing in on it too much. Taken Colorado Front Range.

Not sure on the second, but the first looks good for a Vesper

Yeah, Vesper looks pretty good. And it is in range. I wish the white stripe coming down from the beak on the side of the face was a little more prominent.

Agree with Vesper. Second bird is a Song.

Vesper it is for the first. And thanks that is a lifer. Song would be a lifer but I got Savannah confirmed for another bird yesterday from the same outing.
Any additional input since there is a disagreement would be good. Thanks all!

I don't think there's enough there for me to comfortably call the second bird, but I agree that it looks too short-tailed for a Song. Given the apparent lack of an eye-ring, Savannah seems like a good fit.

I agree with Vesper for the first Sparrow. The second is not a Song. I am getting a Savannah feel on this guy too.

Do you have any other pictures at all of the bird in the second picture? Even crappy ones?

Raptor no I even went back and double checked. That is it that I'm sure it is the same bird.
