American Tree Sparrow - Surrey Lake, BC
One of the smaller sparrows that visit for the winter here in Vancouver. This little guy is identified by the lightness of the overall bird with a rusty eyeline and crown, clean chest and the clean spot mid chest. This bird and a partner were found on a bird count for IBA (Important Bird Area) BC017 or Boundary Bay - Roberts Bank- Sturgeon Bank. They were down a bit of a dyke towards the Serpentine River.
