    Not sure what this guy is. I am thinking Song, but I thought they got out of the Chicago area for Winter? Maybe not this one.

    Hi,

    Certainly looks like a Song sparrow, with all the right field marks, including the coarse breast streaking and the "stick pin". If Chicago is anything like Nova Scotia, then a few do stay for the winter, particularly around bird feeders. We generally get a few on Xmas Counts. Had one today in blizzard-like conditions.
