Quiz - Seven Sparrows

The preening quiz I resurrected form last fall still had the answers in the October 2006 blog entries, so I decided to find some previously unpublished (I think) photographs for a new sparrow quiz. In just a few more weeks, the north section of Pheasant Branch Conservancy will be filled with over a dozen sparrow species. It's also one of the few places I've ever had Harris's Sparrow in Dane County (besides my backyard). Are sparrows a challenge for you? Break out your field guide and see if you can identify the following seven sparrows – all photographed in southern Wisconsin.
