Hi. I'm new to this birding thing. My family thinks I have lost my marbles since I put up the "Food Court" on our deck. (Not to mention the 3-tube feeder outside the family room or the office window feeder.) Anyway, the point is that I am still a novice at identifying birds. This fellow began showing up for several days in October. I eventually looked it up in my "Birds of New York State" book. It looks to me like a Clay-Colored Sparrow but from what I have been able to find out, they are only migrate through NY and are very uncommon in October. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Bob
