Muir confusion FW: [Maine-birds] dovekie Tree sparrow pics FW: eBird Report - Totman Cove, Phippsburg, Dec 29, 2012

I've been told that the bird I called a Dovekie is actually a thick billed muir. Moooore muir murre confusion for me as the ID was sure I'd screw up was the tree sparrow. Which I got right. Yeah for me! So, the muir is a new yard bird for me, too. Cool yard even if there's too much shoveling involved. RRR
