GJMauro12 Report post Posted June 3, 2015 Had something similar happen to me last summer but in phoenix and I don't think this is a rare bird. Stupid thing sat on my window for over 10 minutes in my buddy's drive way. I would hold up a blue rubber band and it would take it out of my hand and then let me take it back. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

IA Born Report post Posted June 4, 2015 That's a fairly rare bird! It's a five striped sparrow. You must have been down near the Mexican border! http://www.audubon.org/field-guide/bird/five-striped-sparrow That's a black-throated sparrow. I thought five-striped at first, based on the head, but the big bib is the key. Five-striped sparrows have that little black dot. I always remember black-throated because they are BTSP on the abbreviation chart! http://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Black-throated_Sparrow/id 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
