This page is for the House Sparrow (Passer domesticus). These are a fairly common backyard bird, and have finally started vising our feeder. I think they have one of the best coloration patterns of all the sparrows. My first photographic evidence occurred on January 17, 2022 at Vista West, Fort Worth, TX.
