Fox sparrow

Rondeau Provincial Park, Ontario, Canada, Feb 18, 2021.


A rare winter visitor to our yard. The pond is bringing in a steady stream of birds and critters.
Passerella iliaca
People have spotted individual Fox Sparrows in Greenland, Iceland, Ireland, Germany, and Italy. Some of these vagrant birds probably made part of their transatlantic journey by ship, after touching down to rest on a vessel far from shore.
