Tweeters,

I rarely see Fox Sparrows in my yard, but there have been a couple around for a week or two. One has been singing this week. I have never seen one at a feeder until today and I was able to photograph it. Comparing the photos to Sibley's illustrations, I was unable to tell if it was a pale Sooty (Pacific) or of the Canadian Rocky Mountain race. I have posted three photos at the site below if anyone cares to ID it.
