I've never seen this particular bird in my yard before. In fact here ...where I live there are no species of sparrows that I've seen in my yard. In a different location I use to get lark sparrows and at least a few others species. So this is a first sighting for me.
First it was puffed up on a branch (it's been mushy mix of snow/rain and in the 30's ..or maybe the bird is pregnant. I don't know if this is a male or female. The bird moved down to the house and doesn't look as fat in those pics.
I only realized after taking the pic the wire was hanging down. I'll have to fix it after the storm moves out..
