Spot the sparrows!

Robert S. sent a picture of a tree in which there are three sparrows (there may be more). Can you find them all? Reveal at noon Chicago time.

          African or European swallow?

    Sparrows, but what kind? house, white throated, field, song,…? I suggest a field trip.

      If I had to guess, it would be House sparrow or English sparrow as we call them (Passer domesticus). They are everywhere.

        I also think so, but there’s a chance of Eurasian tree sparrow (Passer montanus).
