    This is probably a very common bird but I just don't know what it is.
    I used my new outhouse blind for this one.
    The bird is on a stick right next to a bird feeder.

    It's a Chipping Sparrow.
    Looks like the blind is working out well for you.

    Caleb,

    Very nice image of the Chipping Sparrow. I would recommend a couple of bird identification guides: Sibley's Field Guide to Birds of Eastern North America and Sparrows of the United States and Canada, The Photographic Guide by Beadle and Rising, these will be a great aid to your bird ID and are easily carried in the field.
