I have never seen a field sparrow at our feeders on N Cayuga, Ithaca, in the forty or so years I've had them, but Wednesday what I thought was going to be a chipping sparrow turned out to be a FISP when I got the binoculars on it. Despite the prominent pink bill I was hesitant to ID it because its never been here. So I set up my scope and Thursday it returned giving me a wonderful view of its bill and eye ring. I haven't seen it today.
