The bird was about 200 yards north of the Scott Blvd bridge, and was actively foraging in the creek channel vegetation. It was initially associating with crowned sparrows but then went off on its own. A small thin sparrow with a long notched tail, typical of the genus spizella, this bird had a warm brown back with darkish streaks and a light brown rump. The lateral crown stripes were streaky brown and sandwiched a distinct pale median crown stripe that looked to have some buff wash to it, and extended all the way to the nape. The wide pale gray supercilium and whitish mustachial stripe bordered a warm buff auricular patch that had dark brown upper and lower edges. The lores were pale, the eye was dark, and the smallish bill was fleshy-colored. The bird had a gray neck collar that had just a hint of streaking on the sides of the neck. The underparts were white to grayish with a buffy wash across the breast. Mike Mammoser _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
