New World Sparrow - a photo on Flickriver

New World Sparrow

            Usually when I see a new world sparrow with a yellow supercilium (eyebrow), it is a white-throated sparrow, the bird that whistles in the forrest a bit as if my father in law was trying to „call“ us during a hike or while mushroom hunting.  This bird is different however - it has quite extensive streaking on its chest, which white-throated sparrows only have when they are young.  But then white-throated juveniles do not have the yellow supercilium. Also the ear coverts are much more distinctly marked than on the white-throated.  The bird in the picture is therefore a Savannah sparrow, found in Round Lake Preserve, upstate NY.  This may not be the quality shot that I usually try to upload here, but I found the bird and the identification still worth sharing.
