Richard,
Great shot of the unusual bird. At first glance the bird looks like a Snow 
Bunting, but upon closer examination you can tell it isn't. I don't know which 
sparrow species it is, but the bill and head shape don't look quite right to me 
for a Song Sparrow, though I could be wrong. I was wrong once many years ago :)

Hey, I am really enjoying my new camera. I love the way it focuses. I just 
ordered an 8 gig and a 4 gig card for it.

  Folks,
  Had what may be a leucosystic (hope that's the correct word) Song Sparrow in 
our stream this afternoon as well as female Blue and Rose-Breasted Grosbeaks. 
Here are two photos of the sparrow for your consideration...
  Enjoy the birds...
