July 18, 2019 ... I set my old camera up on a tripod in front of the millet feeder and then went for a run with Donna. We were gone a little over an hour including the drive. When I checked the camera images there were 167 shots! Sparrows were the dominate (Song sparrows??) and I had a visit from an Indigo Bunting along with cardinals, titmice and an unknown or two.

Below are some of the photos.. the time stamp on my camera is way off and I don't know how to fix it. (cheap camera). In one photo, a sparrow lit on the camera for a close-up. Click on photos to enlarge...

Good fun, thanks.
I don't see any Sparrows. Song Sparrows are long gone, but the odd Chipping Sparrow or Field Sparrow is about.

I see a lot of House Finch. This is fun as birds eat what is available.
I am guessing you are low on Sunflower.

No, I have two feeders with sunflower to refill almost daily with lots of traffic. Those sparrows also look like female purple finches or female rose-breasted gros-beaks but I have not been seeing any males of those two.

My hummers are picking up the pace now also and I like this time of year because I do not have to throw out spoiled nectar. They empty the feeders before it spoils.

Don't see any sparrows, see female House Finch.

Don't see any sparrows, see female House Finch. That makes sense. I will make a mental note of that but I'd better write it down instead.

Photo from Audubon matches very well.
