The picture of this Male House Sparrow was photographed at the Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge in Queens New York. House Sparrows in flocks have a pecking order. Males with larger patches of black tend to be older and dominant over males with less black.
Laura! I think I just identified my first bird using your site! I put up a bird feeder and saw this the House Sparrow, I believe. More later.
What a wonderful site!
