Savannah Sparrow

Warrenton, Virginia

My best guess is Savannah, but I'm certainly not a sparrow expert! Watched this one take a mid-day bath in Mill Run today.
See previous image for pre-bath perching image over Mill Run (very same bird).
Best viewed in 'original' size.

The bill looks to big for a Savannah, Don. So I'm not sure. Nice shot.

Nice sharp shot of it taking a bath Don. I've not seen one in the water. also, we usually only see them in the Spring when the Savannahs seem to have a bit more yellow on their face. Does look like a Savannah though.
