House Sparrow nest in a Two-holed Mansion built by Linda Violett from my no-trap Hill Trail. House Sparrow eggs are sometimes confused with Cowbird eggs, but typically there would be only one Cowbird egg, and the rest would belong to the host. The background color can vary, the color of the spots can vary, the thickness of spotting can vary, and the size can vary. See more nest photos.Įggs are cream, white, gray or greenish tint, with irregular fine brown speckles, shell is smooth with slight gloss. In a nestbox may have more of a cup shape, and may be built up to cover sides of box. Nest description: Loose jumble of odds and ends, including coarse grass (with seed heads), cloth, feathers, twigs and sometimes litter (e.g., clear plastic, cigarette filters). Mid-summer nests sometimes contain bits of green vegetation (mustards or mints.) Tall nest, often with tunnel like entrance, particularly when built outside of a nestbox. Also see Nest ID Matrix (contents) and Egg ID Matrix (color, spots, etc.)īulky HOSP nest, probably from multiple broods.
