I love the folding warbler guide and shorebird guide. I need them at this point in my birding apprenticeship. Sadly, there is no comparable sparrow guide to help me figure out which little brown bird i am looking at. However, I have found a few helpful sparrow identification pictures.
Common Sparrows of Chicago has pictures and brief descriptions of 20 Midwest sparrows by the Field Museum
A Closer Look at Sparrows features side by side by side photos of common sparrows for comparison assembled by the Delaware Nature Society. Can you id the heads below? See Closer Look for answers.

Finally, from the whimsy of google – a search on “folding guide for sparrows” turned up how to make an origami bird. And now that we are on paper crafts, the New York Times gave instructions for a murder of paper crows.
Two more sparrow picture guides:

You’re not alone, Donna. Those little brown jobs are always a problem for me as well. Thank you for pointing out those guides.
