Fox Sparrow

The name may suggest that they are related to foxes.  But in reality it is nothing like that.  There is a type of fox that looks like a combination of red and orange.  They are so named because they resemble the skin color of the fox.  Most sparrows look the same and there is not much variation.  However, there are some species of sparrows that are slightly colorful.  This color variation is found in the North American region.  Although they are supposed to live in thickets or forests, they can be seen around bird nests or feeders near people.
