Monday Nature Mystery

Well, this is a first!

No one correctly identified the song of the Fox Sparrow (Passerella iliaca). A winter visitor, it can often be heard vocalizing any time of the day in late spring. Fox Sparrows can vary in their coloration being dark brown, red or a sooty gray. Look for them scratching around leaf litter.

Each Monday we’ll post a new photo and identify the previous week’s winner. They’ll receive an ASNV hat or tote bag.
