læg også mærke til den bratte overgang fra næbbasis til panden. Der mangler fjer. Man siger at fuglen er 'burstødt' dvs. har mistet fjer ved næbroden ved at flyve mod/presse næbbet ud gennem maskerne i burtråden.
Ingen grund til at spilde mere tid på den!
Mvh.

Jørgen ,fordi den har ring på bliver den jo ikke nødvendigvis en blandet rase. Den passer jo fint med alaskaformen. Det er jo tvivlsomt at den er fremavlet i voliere. Da den jo nok ikke selv fortæller ,hvor den kommer fra kan der jo kun gisnes om dette. Kan f.eks være kommet ombord på et skib i udmattet tilstand (noget mange småfugle gør) og senere overdraget til en burfugleholder der så har sat ring på. Men den bliver jo desværre uinteressant i WP sammenhæng
It is not very conceivable that this bird (being colour-ringed!) has flown on its own to Denmark from North America. Palle suggests that it may have flown aboard a ship heading for Europe and then taken into captivity in Europe - having later escaped to turn up at a feeder in Bindslev. As intriguing as it may sound it is not a very likely scenario. Fox Sparrow is a major rarity in the Western Palearctic and true vagrants would probably belong to one of the eastern "fox-red" subspecies. As far as I recall there have been records from Ireland, Iceland and Germany (is there a record from Italy as well?).
The Bindslev-bird belongs to one of the western races. I won't try to pinpoint exactly what subspecies the bird belongs to. There are about 20 different races and they are not that easily separated (and I'm no expert on the matter!). As Jørgen Munck suggests it might even be a mix of subspecies.
Fox Sparrow is probably not a very common cagebird in Europe (Morten Bentzon Hansen will definately know more about that!?) but it seems more than reasonable to asume that this colour-ringed western Fox Sparrow has escaped from captivity "on our side of the pond".
