Description Albuquerque NM

We feed birds -
mostly to attract in summer but all year with seed and suet for the others. 
This morning we were surprised to see a beige sparrow
Since I didn't have a at the time - here's a pix of what I saw courtesy of the Garden Walk Garden Talk website.
 

For more here's the link gardenwalkgardentalk.com/2013/…
And another one for unusual birds feederwatch.org/learn/unusual-…


PS - Happily it's flock was very friendly to this very unusually colored sibling- could teach us all a lesson

very cool spotting! these don't usually last too long in the wild as they're easier to spot and single out by the predators...

it's back again today - but the entire flock is so jumpy I doubt I'll get a good shot of it
yes, that's probably true so I'll keep lots of seed out so it's short life will be a YUMMY one
