Junco hyemalis
A widespread and common small sparrow, the Dark-eyed Junco is most familiar as a winter visitor to bird feeders. It comes in several distinctly different looking forms, but all are readily identified as "juncos" by their plain patterning, dark hood, and white outer tail feathers.

Ditto what Beth said. Looking at the EXIF data, it says the focal length you used was 72mm-->35mm equiv. of 4819. Is that accurate or just the EXIF giving goofy numbers like my camera does sometimes?
