This is the first Fox Sparrow to have ever been seen on campus, and it’s dead! These birds are not very common on the East coast but they winter in NC in small numbers. Campus birders tell me they’ve never seen a Fox Sparrow on campus, neither have I, we also haven’t heard them. Maybe he was passing through…or migrating…whatever it was it all ended against a window of the CIEMAS building. Second bird of the year, the same day as the Titmouse.

That’s too bad! Poor little bird. It’s really pretty, I like the red in the feathers. It does have the colors of a Fox! Thanks for posting 🙂
