American tree sparrow

After a "long warm" fall season, some winter birds are starting coming to our area. American tree sparrows are one of them in the list. This individual perchs in the open on the low tree branches, and gives me some good opportunities to photograph it with the clean background.

 

Oct. 2022, St.Albert. Overcast afternoon.

 

Interesting fact from allaboutbirds by Cornell Lab:

"The oldest recorded American Tree Sparrows was at least 10 years, 9 months when it was recaptured and rereleased during banding operations in Connecticut in 1983."
