While I’ve seen field sparrows on Lansing Station Road in nearby woods edges & fields, I too have never had one in the yard that I was able to see.
I have seen 1 field sparrow in various parts of my yard several times in the last 3 weeks.

Despite the prominent pink bill I was hesitant to ID it because its never been here. So I set up my scope and Thursday it returned giving me a wonderful view of its bill and eye ring. I haven't seen it today.
