You have an Am. Tree Sparrow. Some of the most easily seen ID features is the bicolored beak, distinct wing bars, and a black spot in the middle of the chest which you can just see in the first picture.
Thanks for the help identifying my new friend. I know people have a lot of sparrows. This is the first one and only one I have had. I have not seen it since. I have had lots of other birds at the feeder. It has been so much fun to see some life outdoors in all the white snow.
I would have said sparrow of some kind but it sounds like others know exactly what it is. Whatever, I love your pictures of the bird as well as the squirrel in the above post. Thanks for stopping by my blog as well. I love gardening and I love nature so I will enjoy reading your blog, I know.
Sweet little chubby bird - boy that Richard knows his stuff, doesn't he? I'm glad he answered the question. Funny how sometimes there is an unquestionable feature for identifying an animal, like that spot on the chest. Amazing.
It's definitely an American Tree Sparrow. The only other sparrow vaguely resembling it are the Chipping Sparrow's which haven't arrived here in the North Country yet.
I had a new bird at my feeder yesterday. Please help me identify it. Thanks.

A type of Sparrow may be.

I think that is a sparrow...we have hundreds of them in our yard

Sparrows are tough but the only way I can tell a Tree Sparrow is that it's beak is a different color on the bottom.

They look similar to my sparrows, which I think may be house or English sparrows. I have the non-native undesirable ones.
