Bird Carving # 4 : Tree Sparrow(Suzume)

This is my forth bird carving work of Tree Sparrow.

The Tree Sparrow is 12.5–14 cm long.
The adult's crown and nape are rich chestnut,
and on the white cheeks and ear-coverts there is
a triangular black patch; the chin and throat are black.
Two distinct though narrow white bars cross
the brown wings. In summer the bill is lead-blue,
and in winter almost black.
The legs are pale brown and the irides hazel.
The sexes are practically alike.
