Sparrow Identification? – Need Help!

Sparrow Identification? – Need Help!

July 6, 2022 Elizabeth

Possible Song Sparrow

I shot these on a landing zone near my oriole feeder on 7/6/2022. I believe that I see 2 different sparrows here in these clips. Can anyone help me confirm the identification? Shot with GoPro Hero 9 Black. I am really not great at differentiating the sparrows, but am trying to improve!

Possible Chipping Sparrow

On 7/3/2022 I had the opportunity to share a message at my church. The message was all about what birdwatching has taught me about the nature of God. I drew upon the verses from Matthew 6:26, “Look at the Birds of the Air!”. Watch here if you are interested in “ornitheology”.
