Fox Sparrow! - 09 Apr 2015

I came home at noon today for lunch and noticed a rufous-tailed sparrow flush from the fence line in the back yard. It was raining and the bird flew over Michelle's fence. I suspected Fox Sparrow but needed confirmation so I camped in the window while I ate my hummus (hopefully not recalled-for-Listeria-hummus).

As the rain poured I finally spotted the bird near the back feeder but moving toward the window. It was soaked and looking less-than-foxy...

Still, a very nice bird for Wyandotte. It would reappear briefly after work before heavy rains returned.
