    Rochester NY, White-Throated Sparrow?

    I only got one okay shot off of this fellow before it took off, and that was through the window. Taken back in May of 2008, below my feeder with I think a Pear tree blossom in its beak.

    "Inviting nature home" is my business slogan and something I believe in.

    Yep, a slam-dunk White-throated.  Some of them have tan-and-black head striping rather than white and black, with less yellow in the lores (by the eyes), and a less contrasty white throat, and are consequently just a bit harder to recognize.

    cool, thanks for the confirmation, I was going through some older files and found this one, I had forgot about it and was excited to find it.
