What you're looking at above is the Swamp Sparrow. You can tell by the gray chest, white spot under the chin, reddish wings, and streaked crown. He's perched on a rusty old agricultural artifact.

Swamp Sparrow (Melospiza georgiana)
You know you're playing with the birder big boys when you're busy bloviating on sparrow species. These inconspicuous little guys are hard to identify. Not as bad as gulls, but close. Anyhow, I got plenty of good sparrow pics and sparrow identification pointers from the bird-loving lovebird husband-wife duo that led a birdwalk at the Rea Farm last Saturday in Cape May.
