Fwd: [nysbirds-l] House Sparrow at my feeder

[Paul R Sweet]

Since Junco and House Sparrows are in completely different families this is an 
extremely unlikely scenario. More likely a House Sparrow with aberrant tail 
feathers.

Hi Everyone,

I know that sounds funny but it must be a hybrid with a Junco.  Looks like a 
female House Sparrow with a Junco tail.  Also had a Fox Sparrow.  Both MIA 
now,,,I will post a photo later on my blog 
www.longislandbirding.blogspot.com.  
Not best quality since taken thru the window.

Good winter birding,
Rob in Massapequa
